FROM THE ROASTER

THIS WASHED RELEASE FROM DAYE BENSA REPRESENTS SOME OF THE MOST TRADITIONAL AND BELOVED CHARACTERISTICS OF ETHIOPIA’S COFFEE SEASON. KERAMO PRESENTS A CLASSIC PROFILE BUILT AROUND PUNCHY CITRIC ACIDITY, STONEFRUIT SWEETNESS, AND A CLEAN, TEA-LIKE FINISH. IT IS A FAMILIAR CUP DONE WITH CLARITY AND PRECISION.

IN PROFILING, THIS LOT HAS SHOWN A DYNAMIC RANGE, CAPABLE OF LEANING MORE HEAVILY INTO FRUIT OR FLORAL NOTES DEPENDING ON BREW PARAMETERS AND PREFERENCE. THAT FLEXIBILITY MAKES IT BOTH ENGAGING AND REWARDING, OFFERING DEPTH WITHOUT SACRIFICING APPROACHABILITY.

BREWING AT A 1:18 RATIO PRODUCES A COMPLEX AND LAYERED CUP. TART CITRUS AND BERRY NOTES LEAD, SOFTENING INTO JUICY, LAYERED STONEFRUIT SWEETNESS BEFORE FINISHING WITH A SUBTLE BLACK TEA CHARACTER. THE FINISH IS CLEAN AND SHORT, WITH A SLIGHTLY TACTILE, SUGARY TEXTURE THROUGHOUT. ALL TESTING WAS DONE USING WATER AT 60 HARDNESS AND 20 BUFFER, HEATED TO 198F. A REST OF 30 DAYS OR MORE IS RECOMMENDED.
