Ethiopian Sidama Natural Org. Gr. 3

Light roasts put off a sweet lemon acidity that fades into a nice red-fruit note, balanced with a tea-like dry chocolate undertone. A longer setup will help smooth it out and pronounce the fruit note. If shooting real light, make sure to flick out any beans not through first crack. Medium roasts are a bit more tame, no flicking required. Cup will get a richer chocolaty note with just a pinch of floral acidity and fading into a soft fruit note. Medium roasts are slightly reminiscent of the Yemen but perhaps still a bit brighter. Darker roasts are cool with these beans, as you touch 2nd crack you still have some nice medium roasted beans in the mix, a good balance of tones between the smoky chocolaty roasty and fruity citric tea notes.
