Product Description

This lot from the Chelbesa Danche absolutely scream 'Yirga Cheffe' coffee, with clean, floral cup character, and well articulated sweetness and acidity! The dry fragrance shows perfumed floral notes, like rose, an aromatic hint of rue herb, and the sweetness has aspects of raw sugars. I was struck by some of the tropical fruit notes at City roast as well, hints of pineapple, and passion fruit. I picked up on a tropical papaya note in the wet aroma, with smells of dried stone fruit, honey, and elegant jasmine note that really draw you in. The cup at City roast level does not disappoint! Chelbesa Danche makes for an incredibly aromatic cup when roasted light, with depth of sweetness that act as a connecting point for some of the more elegant, outlier top notes. The coffee cools to flavors of orange spiced tea, and complex rue herbal accents play off the floral aromatics of jasmine, freesia, and fresh coriander. Our light roast boasted a modest level of acidity that brought to mind orange, and other sweet citrus, greatly influenced by the citrus flavor accents. Roasting super light can sometimes lead to stunted sweetness, but that wasn't the case with ours. Chelbesa's cup sweetness covers quite a bit of ground, and lasting in the finish too. It starts off transparent, like simple syrup, but then branches out to raw sugars, and fragrant honey in the aftertaste.
