Ethiopia Agaro Duromina:

Importer's Description:

The dry fragrance is front-loaded with a layer of honey sweetness, assorted stone fruits, and spice smells. Adding the hot water brings up a scent of dark honey, and the wetted crust is saturated with simple brown sugar and stone fruit sweetness. The cup flavors echo the aromatics in multi-layered fruit tones, subtle floral hints, and unrefined sugar sweetness. City roasts make for the brightest cups, a somewhat soft lemon tea note cuts through the dense brown sugar and honey sweetness. Fruited flavors accent the base sweetness as the coffee cools, and my list included nectarine, orange marmalade, and a zesty citrus note too. A floral aroma is most prominent in light roasts and shows elements of floral peach, and also a rue herbal hint. Body is boosted with darker roasting, but Duromina showed tactile appeal at every roast level we tasted. City+ roasting brings out a somewhat subtle chocolate tone, and fruited flavors thankfully are not compromised, pointing to natural dried apricot and peach, and the Duromina's aromatic top notes flourish. The acidity level is moderate in comparison to some of the Yirga Cheffe's we've carried, but structuring none the less. Duromina is wonderful as SO espresso too, creamy in mouthfeel, and flavors of dried stone fruit and dark chocolate sauce are attention grabbing.
