Ethiopia Nekisse Micro Selection One

We can all agree that (in coffee) Ethiopia has a name full of expectations. We anticipate loud fruit aromatics that transition into rich chocolates and sweet wines; deeper, more complex subtleties — whether butter or beef broth, and lengthy, satisfying finishes. We want not only our showcase, Bob, but our neighbors too.

It is with this high standard in mind that I accept the Ethiopia Nekisse Micro as a strong contender; one who's work might just speak for itself*.

Hailing from Nedjo/Kele, near the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, this Nekisse is timeless. Beginning with a forthcoming and confident ripe cherry aroma, pronounced undertones of jasmine and brown sugar, and evolving into a deeper vibrant oak. This natural process sweetness leaves a coated mouthfeel, though oddly enough — with an intense staccato finish.
