Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
Gedeo Worka
94 points (2/2012)
Blind assessment: Intense, sweetly bright,
crisp yet lush. Layered fruit berry, nectarine, green apple
are complicated by fresh-cut fir and almond in aroma and cup. Rich, roundly
tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The powerful aromatics fade just
slightly in a drying finish.
Who should drink it: Big-gestured, dramatic Yirgacheffe for lovers
of this complexly aromatic origin.

Notes : Yirgacheffe
is a coffee region in Ethiopia that produces distinctively floral- and
fruit-toned coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown
in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet
or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying) typically
express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis
on citrus and floral notes.
