Roasting Notes:
Roasted to a light level with and emphasis on a fairly quick roast time to enhance the floral aromas and tea like nature of this coffee. While the coffee is roasted more quickly than our natural processed Ethiopia, it is still a moderate pace to balance the acidity with some sugar development. We are able to obtain a light roast that is evenly developed throughout roast as a result. Our goal with this coffee was to showcase what great washed Ethiopian coffees can be when allowed to develop a bit more during the roast while still maintaining a lighter roast profile.
