Ethiopian Coffee Taste

 

This country’s beans are known for their complex flavours of wine and fruit. Its medium acidity paired with a medium body produces a well-balanced taste.

Ethiopian beans share similar characteristics to other African coffees. However, they are generally described to be:

  • Medium to full bodied, although lighter than Indonesia beans with less acidity
  • A pleasant lingering finish with floral subtleties
  • Rich and smooth

The Adams and Russell Ethiopian Kilenso Mokonisa has delicious notes of juicy berries, vanilla and deep cocoa.

 

The Story of the Discovery of Coffee in Ethiopia

 

The coffee plant was discovered in this country in the 11th century. Its white blossom smells like jasmine and its bean resembles a red cherry.

According to legend, the goat herder Kaldi stumbled across the plant when he noticed that his goats were full of energy and wouldn’t sleep at night after they ate some of the berries.

He then shared his findings with the local monastery who made a drink with the berries. They also experienced this high energy and alertness. The knowledge of the coffee plant soon began to spread.

Some believe this story to be true, although it is not fact.

    This is seriously good coffee, that is a hidden gem. I have bought organic coffee from many online stores, but I haven’t found anywhere that sells it this cheap and still deliver on time, every time, a coffee I really look forward to drinking every morning. I make mine freshly ground in a cafetiere. This has a depth to that sweet, chocolatey, berry taste, without being earthy or in any way. The taste lasts and becomes quite complex and comforting without having any bitter aftertaste. I can only assume the high standard of roasting ensures I get a very similar roast every bag I buy.
    Do yourself a favour and buy a bag of these beans, give them a grind, make a brew, see the world in a new light and you’ll not look back!
