With gentle violet florals, juicy riesling grape acidity, and buttery texture to round it all out, this washed processed lot from Duromina cooperative consists of local landrace varieties picked and processed with soil, water, and biodiversity in mind, coffees coming from the forests in Agaro represents some of the few semi-wild coffees remaining in the ancestral lands of Ethiopia.
Tastes great, better than shot before which was 22sec. Now more grape flavour, juicy bright but balanced, buttery body but open a soft tea flavours too. Pleasant finish, very low bitterness.
