Ethiopia Sidama Ayla Shantawene Washed GREEN

About This Coffee

This coffee opens with a vibrant mix of stone fruit and citrus, led by white peach, lemon-lime, and soft orange. The wet aroma leans expressive and layered, showing purple fruits like blackberry and grape alongside tropical sweetness and hints of florals. Hot, the cup is clean and structured with peach, light citrus, and a subtle herbal/botanical edge—think black tea, thyme, or rosemary adding complexity without overpowering. As the coffee cools, it becomes more aromatic and dynamic. Florals like lavender and violet emerge, paired with a mouth-watering acidity that lifts the cup. Stone fruit remains present, while the finish develops into a mix of soft spice (coriander-like), and a light dark chocolate bitterness. In cleaner brews, the profile stays crisp and articulate; with fines, the cup gains body and sweetness but becomes more rounded and slightly muddled, with a pie-like or baked-good character. Overall, this is a clean, fruit-forward coffee with layered florals, tea-like structure, and a balanced, refreshing acidity. It leans toward a classic washed Ethiopian profile with some modern expressive qualities depending on brew clarity.
