We're expecting the arrival of another excellent coffee next week.
We first tasted a sample of the Ethiopia Nekisse a couple of months ago, and we've been anxious to get it in ever since. This is an incredible dry processed coffee, one of the best I can remember tasting.
The aroma is unbelievable; it is one of those super distinctive coffees that smells like nothing else. Apricot, orange, and flowers are all present, with very high intensity. Its always nice when people several feet away can notice that you've sent something special through the grinder.
The cup is sweet and fruity, again with apricot and orange along with chocolate and berries. Best of all, there are none of the distracting defect notes that plague almost every natural coffee (usually from improper drying or under/over-ripe cherries). This coffee is clean. You can taste the care that went into every stage of harvesting and processing.
It may take us a while to find the ideal roast profile, but once we do, the Nekisse will be available online and in the cafe. Don't miss this one; you'll be talking about it for a while.
