Roseline Coffee - April 2022 Release

This is a lovely washed Ethiopian coffee with fresh fruit flavors, a satiny mouthfeel and honeyed-nectar sweetness. Orange aromatics and peach melba flavor notes mingle with hints of black tea and honeydew. The sweetness holds on as it cools and the finish is clean and fresh like green grapes. Finessed, classic, enjoyable and well made from seed to cup. Kudos to the team at Roseline Coffee

Roaster’s notes:

Building on the wider history of Agaro, where an investment by USAID’s Technoserve project helped bring brand-new processing equipment to this previously under served and undifferentiated region, Nano Genji's immaculate processing leads to an incredible showcase of the coffee’s natural potential for a ridiculously long time off harvest. The secret? After Penagos processing equipment mechanically removes most of the fruit and mucilage from the seeds, they soak overnight in fiberglass tanks, allowing any remaining sugars to be fully removed from their surface so that the coffees are perfectly clean by the time they hit the drying beds for the eight-plus days they’ll need to dry. Featuring distinct flavors of orange blossom, honey and peach; Nano Genji is a testament to the kind of effect skilled processing and ridiculously high growing altitudes impact final cup quality
