FROM THE ROASTER

OUR SECOND TIME PURCHASING COFFEE FROM YULIETH MORA, THIS IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE STYLE OF PRODUCTION AS HER OMBLIGON LOT BUT STILL SUPERLATIVELY GOOD. ON SEVERAL BLIND CUPPING TABLES ALONGSIDE FRESH CROP ETHIOPIAN OFFERS & PRE-SHIPMENTS, THIS COFFEE KEEPS SURPRISING US THAT IT'S NOT AN ETHIOPIAN WASHED LOT. WE THINK THIS AN EXCELLENT VARIETY-DRIVEN CUP THAT REALLY SHOWCASES THE AJÍ CUP PROFILE, AND THAT YULIETH IS A GREAT PRODUCER CAPABLE OF DELIVERING BOTH HIGH QUALITY TRADITIONALLY PROCESSED LOTS AS WELL AS THE MORE MODERN, HIGHER INTERVENTION STYLE - AND CRUCIALLY, THAT THE LATTER DOES NOT NEED TO SUPPLANT THE FORMER.

WE'RE TASTING SUPER NICE AROMATICS - WE FIND APRICOT YOGHURT AND ORANGE ZEST. IN THE CUP IT'S BRIGHT AND SUPER VIBRANT, WITH GREEN APPLE, YUZU, MANDARIN, AND MILKY EARL GREY AS THE PROMINENT NOTES ALONGSIDE RIPE MANGO AND CHAMOMILE. AS IT COOLS THE FLORALS BECOME MORE PROMINENT, WITH ORANGE BLOSSOM AND LILAC, AND WE FIND A LITTLE HINT OF GRANADILLA. REALLY ETHIOPIAN LIKE

PROCESS

TRADITIONAL WASHED: RIPE CHERRIES ARE HANDPICKED AND PASSED THROUGH A FLOTATION SYSTEM TO REMOVE LOW-DENSITY AND DEFECTIVE BEANS. CHERRIES ARE THEN DE-PULPED AND FERMENTED IN AN OPEN TANK FOR 30 HOURS. COFFEE IS MOVED TO THE DRYING SHED AND DRIED OVER 15 DAYS
