A fruity, nuanced, washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Hints of citrus - Meyer lemon and Blood orange especially, but the citrus is more muted (and pleasant) than many Yirgacheffes. Hints of Jasmine as the cup cools. All the nuance is anchored on a base of baked chocolate undertone. Crisp, clean, balanced.

The Backstory

An amazing coffee from amazing people, we bought this one as a result of Jim's recent trip to Ethiopia, where he toured the coffee growing regions of northeastern and southern Ethiopia. The organization behind this beautiful coffee is called Dominion Trading, operating on two continents with a handful of people for the express purpose of helping Ethiopian family farms.

In the cup, expect the classic washed Yirgacheffe flavor profile - a base of baked chocolate with a layer of light lemon. Great hot or iced - try one of the cold recipes below!

Iced Coffee Recipes

"Citrus Chill"

Prepare coffee in the usual way.

When coffee is finished, and still hot, sweeten to taste (we like about 20 grams of sugar per serving), and add slices of orange (about 1 thin slice per serving).

Chill sweetened, orange coffee till cold (overnight works well), remove and discard orange slices.

Serve over ice (if you don't want your iced coffee diluted, make ice cubes from the chilled coffee), garnished with orange slice.

"Creamsicle Chill"

Follow directions above, but add cream or milk (to taste) to the hot, sweetened, orange coffee. A few tablespoons per serving works well for us. Or skip the sugar in the recipe above and just add vanilla ice cream.

Chill and serve as above.  $14.95  $12.71
