Overview
Produced in the high-altitude landscapes of Guji, this micro-regional lot from Anasora represents the quintessential clarity of Ethiopian washed coffees. We tasted a sophisticated profile defined by tea-like elegance and vibrant fruit. The cup opens with the refined citrus floral notes of Earl Grey, transitioning into the deep sweetness of blackcurrant and the zesty, crisp finish of starfruit. This lot showcases a heavy, creamy texture balanced by a structured acidity, making it an exceptional selection for Q-Graders seeking complexity and terroir-driven purity.
