I love specialty coffee for its complexity of flavors. I think that’s why I gravitate towards lighter roasts; I really enjoy picking apart those nuances. BUT there are those coffees that come along that do a simple thing very well, and it’s hard to argue with that. This washed Yirgacheffe won me over with its powerful aromatics of citrus, cane sugar, and toffee. The cup is remarkably clean and well-balanced with notes of lemon, cane sugar, toffee, and a subtle touch of green tea. If I could describe a coffee as “elegant” without getting beat up, I would say that about this one.
