88+ Ethiopia Old Yeti Grand Cru by Terres de Café (Organic)

Tasting notes of the Curator

This forest coffee comes from the 100 year-old Moka trees growing on the Dinsa Soreso parcel in Wallagga, Ethiopia. The beans are harvested from these old vines, offering little fruit but cherries twice as long as traditional Yeti. Measurement reveals exceptional density, resulting in its sweetness, fruitiness and great complexity.

The aroma of this coffee is surprisingly delightful with notes of undergrowth, chocolate and red fruits. The mouthfeel is particularly velvety and retro-olfaction releases notes of dried strawberry, chocolate and sweet spices. Its great sweetness and impressive length on the palate make it an excellent choice that will delight any coffee connoisseur.

Pairings and Suggestions

This coffee is perfect for espresso-based drinks, such as cappuccinos and lattes. It also pairs well with milk-based drinks, such as flat whites and cortados. Its velvety texture and sweet notes make it an ideal choice for a morning cup of coffee.

For those who prefer a lighter roast, this coffee can be enjoyed as a filter or cold brew. Its unique flavor profile makes it a great choice for those who want to explore the world of specialty coffee.
