We received a 94 point score for our Ethiopian Tchembe in April of 2015 from Coffee Review!
Blind Assessment:
Juicy, velvety, complete. Crisp roasted cacao nib, ripe citrus and strawberry, honeysuckle, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Gently vibrant, perfectly balanced acidity; plush mouthfeel. Sweet, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes:
This is a very refined version of a dry-processed or “natural” coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. This coffee was selected and prepared under the supervision of Ninety Plus, a distinguished boutique producer and importer of innovative small-lot coffees from Ethiopia and Panama. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.
Who Should Drink It: The sweetly bright, buttery juiciness of certain tropical fruits, balanced by refined cacao and aromatic wood notes. Distinctive and superb.
