Espresso Blending (#)

  „To add richness and body to a blend, Asian Pacific coffees such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, East Timor, New Guinea and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe are used.  Yirgacheffe has a potent flowerlike aroma.“

  „For drip coffee I would suggest experimenting with Guatemalan, Costa Rican, Tanzania peaberry, Ethiopian (the Ethiopians are ALL good: Harar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe).  Also you may like to try Sulawesi, Kenya and maybe even an exotic like Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain (it's terribly expensive but also a unique coffee).“

Ethiopian Coffee

  „Washed coffees of Ethiopia include Ghimbi and Yirgacheffe.  The former is more balanced, heavier, and has a longer lasting body than the Harrars.  The latter are more mild, fruitlike, and aromatic.“

  „Are you looking for a conditioned response for a brand (like Kona or JMB) or the best tasting coffee - even by your own taste preferences? Lately, I really enjoy Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. It has some naturally occcuring citrus flavors that are just amazing. I've gotten a bag of Kenyan AA rated 94 in coffee review that also has been extraordinary, but for a very different flavor profile.“

  „The Barista who understands the geopolitical implications of the coffee trade and can talk intelligently about them. The Barista who knows how an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe differs from a Harrar. The Barista who understands that Java is really the name of a coffee-producing island, not just a slang name for the beverage itself. The Barista who understands the how a 13 minute dark roast tastes differently from a 21 minute dark roast.“

Sweet Maria's Coffee Cupping Reviews: Archive L - P

  „The other factor is that other decafs sometimes don't originate with the best green coffees. This is a true Auction Lot Kenya blended 50-50 with one of the best Ethiopian Yirgacheffe lots from this season. As I mentioned, it is a coffee that is lighter in body, bright (striking the front of the palate and tongue in the center-front and front-sides), and very fruity. Although the scores are already very high for a decaf, I objectively felt the cup rates higher than a combined 86 so there is a "Cupper's Correction" of 2.“
