"An incredible washed Ethiopian coffee from a community very experienced in producing stellar coffees. This coffee offers all the classic washed Kochere type characteristics of lemon zest, peach and jasmine and earl grey teas. A good option for someone wanting the best in the Yirgacheffe/Kochere flavor profiles. "
