Ethiopia Uraga Siko

If you're a fan of floral coffee, you should certainly give Uraga Siko a try. It offers attractive floral grace notes in the light roasts, with bright berry-toned accents, and fragrant sweetness that's honeyed and clean. When grinding the coffee, you pick up on faint florality behind the sweetness in the dry fragrance, a hint of dried floral potpourri works its way through potent notes of raw unrefined sugars and honey. Sweet jasmine notes comes through with a bit more intensity in the wet aroma, adding a perfumed aspect to the sweetness, along with a fragrant spritz of citrus. Siko is tasting as strong as ever, with impressive Guji-like aromatics and deep, grounding sweetness. City roasts brew a floral and bright coffee, with hefty flavors of red honey and raw sugars that provide a nice connecting point for the lively top notes. Berry notes are fresh in flavor, with tart acidity that brought to mind blueberry skins, fading to fragrant lime and some bittering aspects of zested citrus peel. The aromatic profile blossoms as it cools, floral jasmine pearl tea and rose are perfumed, along with pink bubblegum, tangerine, and spiced Darjeeling tea in the long aftertaste. An excellent Uraga coffee that shines as a pour-over brew!
