This is a washed bean (wet processed), A little unusual for an Ethiopian. This mean it’s more evenly graded than many similar beans.
Appearance of the bean is remarkably even for an Ethiopian. Good colour, some variation but leaning to being more green than the yellow-green of many similar origins.
Dry fragrance is clean and gives hints of the floral overtones.
Wet aroma gave hints of the unusual body this bean has – there is something ‘low down’ about the aroma.
As mentioned, this bean has good body (above average for a Limu). It shows medium-high acidity, and an intense sweet floral presence in the cup.
It drinks very well as an SO, even as a milk drink (acidity is strong enough to cut through the milk). Would also blend very well with stronger bodied, but low acidity beans – perhaps a good Central.
