Ethiopia DP Yirga Cheffe

Cupping Notes

As a brewed coffee, this one fits the definition of 'special' in every way. Uniquely sweet, ripe fruit flavors are only the beginning of what this coffee has to offer. The fragrance is so alluring - ripe berries, guava, citrus, florals. It's intense, a bit winey and quite nice! this coffee's a steamroller. It's tropical through and through - coconut, pineapple, fresh mangos, lychee - all ripe and sweet. As the coffee cools the descriptors start stacking up. Citrus flavors, floral to pulpy and all in between, continue to string together the growingly complex web of flavors. It lacks "process" flavors that are often found in naturals; overripe, souring ferment and such. It has a clean nature - surprisingly so even against our other naturals that we consider "clean". At City roast the body is medium, and this aspect builds with roast level. Full City is very juicy, and the darker end of this spectrum will make for a pretty crazy espresso - a sure standout, sweet, with a very fruited dark chocolate flavor.
