Notes of sweet milk chocolate with a soft touch of tart citrus, leaning towards clementine come out in the forefront of the shot. The finish is clean with a long and lasting chocolate aftertaste.
As a starting point for extraction we use a 19 gram dose to yield a 27 gram shot. A 70% extraction ratio.
Ardi is grown in the Guji region of Sidama by a group of about 90 farmers. Ardi is immaculately processed at Girma Ademas mill in Southern Ethiopia. This coffee won 1st place in the 2010 the Ethiopia Taste of Harvest Competition, and another coffee from this same mill won 3rd place in 2010! Ken Davids of CoffeeReview.com reviewed this coffee in March of 2010 and gave it a 92 point review. This years' harvest took place from November to January. Although this harvest features a slightly different cup than last years, the multidimensional character is still impressive.
It turns out Ethiopia is the birthplace of more than just coffee! Ardi is named after the oldest human skeleton ever found (4.4 million years old). Ardi is a naturally processed coffee that you will remember for years. The main source of income for the people in this region depends on coffee farming. We are proud to partner with people who are so passionate about great coffee.
