Ethiopia Dry Process Senna Katta Mountain

One thing we love about the coffee from Senna Katta Mountain is its versatility. It makes a delicious light roasted pour over, brightly accented and sweet, a little lower intensity in the fruit department than some of our other naturals. But that's what also makes it the kind of dry process we reach for to use as espresso or in a blend. Limu naturals can be quite different than those from Yirga Cheffe and Guji, the thick body and bittersweet potential makes them a great candidate for a complex shot of espresso. The dry fragrance has fruit pastry-like sweetness, accents of cinnamon roll and peach scone, with notes of brown sugar and bittersweet cocoa. The wet aroma brings out a really nice scent of cooked sugars, with more defined notes of dried strawberry, drinking cocoa, and a hint of sweet basil. The cup has very attractive sweetness, with subtle fruited profiles that open up to more discernible flavors as you sit with it. At City roast level, there's a nice bright aspect backing the cup, like ripe berry, along with subtle aromatic accents, like potpourri and spice. The cup sweetness has a molasses note that plays off notes of dried apricot and strawberry, with hints of earthy yellow tea and anise in the aftertaste. Dark roasts have impressive chocolate flavors and viscous, inky body. Fruits are lower key, but still offers background hints of complex dried fruits. It makes incredible single origin espresso, Full City/Full City+ roasts are deeply bittersweet and berry-toned, like the profile of a raspberry dark chocolate truffle.
