Ethiopia Organic Sidamo

For several months we have been waiting for an Ethiopian coffee to reveal itself to us. Finally one rose to the occasion. This Ethiopia Organic Sidamo is a grade 2 washed coffee. It has a clean tea like aroma -- slight jasmine and berry. Very good acidity, more sweet than sour. At a City roast the coffee exhibited flavors reminiscent of a lemon raspberry tart. Sweet lemons with that subtle berry accent. Oh yeah, and all of this was supported by good body, making this a very satisfying cup.

A darker roast -- Full City -- will tone down the lemon without removing it completely. The flavor and body will increase and deepen.
