Earned a 94-point evaluation from Coffee Review.

The Ethiopia Rumadamo Anaerobic Natural, sourced by Olympia Coffee Roasting, represents a distinct expression from the Bensa District. Grown at 2500 masl, this lot undergoes an anaerobic natural fermentation, a technique that often intensifies the inherent fruit-forward characteristics of Ethiopian heirloom varieties. While traditional natural-processed coffees are known for their heavy body and berry-like sweetness, anaerobic methods can introduce complex, wine-like acidity and unique aromatic profiles.

In this specific offering, the roaster identifies notes of grape, passion fruit, licorice, jasmine, and honeysuckle. These descriptors highlight the intersection of deep, dark fruit tones and delicate floral aromatics. For those looking to better understand how these specific sensory experiences align with broader industry standards, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the nuances between the bright, tea-like qualities of jasmine and the deeper, savory undertones of licorice found in this complex cup.
