Bensa #2

I love sharp, fruity coffees, and this one fits the bill. It has a juiciness that most coffees, even fruity ones, lack. The floral undertone let’s you know it’s an Ethiopian, and there’s some sweetness about it too. Very happy with this one.

I was a bit put off by this coffee the first brew. The limey acidity was so prominent it dominated the cup, and not in a pleasant way - I didn’t finish the cup for the first time since I joined this club! A few days later that prominence has settled and the cup is better balanced, leaving more space for the crisp apple and florals spotted in the tasting notes. The coffee is certainly better now but still a bit too tangy for my liking. It’s fine, and very interesting; I’m glad I tried it - ethiopian naturals are fascinating! Still, possibly my least favorite cup so far.
