Context

Sourced from the Ethiopia · Sidamo region, Routable is a washed coffee offered by Black & White Coffee Roasters. This lot is cultivated at elevations ranging from 1600 to 2000 meters above sea level. The washed processing method is traditionally employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean, often resulting in a clean cup profile.

In the case of this specific offering, the roaster identifies tasting notes of caramel, black cherry, and milk chocolate. When evaluating these descriptors, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better understand how these distinct sugar-browning and fruit-toned characteristics interact within the cup. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, tea-like elegance, the presence of black cherry and milk chocolate notes in this selection suggests a balanced, approachable profile that bridges the gap between classic sweetness and nuanced fruit acidity.
