Coffee Description
A distinct, savory coffee with layers of herbal complexity and a fresh citrus aroma, this lovely coffee carries the classic Yirgacheffe profile: Bergamot, citrus, jasmine/coffee flower notes along with sweet, bright acidity and tea-like body. This coffee opens up as it cools, so the flavors just keep coming.
