From the roaster

An excellent washed Ethiopian for those looking towards the pour over lane. Not suggested for espresso but that's par for the course with me and my mean mr bad man coffee hater shades on washed ethiopians as espresso. BOOOOOOO. 

I get somewhat expected (for a Guji) Bright, floral , and Juicy fruits though not red/round/rotund. More lemon and lime. You may disagree and get pomegranate.There's always a lot of tea like things going and I'd land right on black tea.
