Description
Big cup. Heavy, sweet, the body leans back in your chair and puts its feet up. There’s fruit in it — in the background, doing its job without asking for the room’s attention. The aroma is rustic, and we take that as a compliment. Rustic means working farm, not focus group. Point it at the espresso machine. Everything about this coffee is pointed that way: the weight, the sweetness, the bittersweet running through the middle. Under pressure it does what Ethiopians usually promise and rarely do — gets complicated without making a scene.
City+ to Full City+. Anything lighter than that and you’re drinking somebody else’s idea of Ethiopia.
Heavy where it counts. Quiet where the others would show off.
