What your palate is noticing
A familiar note.
Nothing added.
Cooler growing conditions, slow ripening, organic acids, and clean processing can make bergamot-like brightness noticeable in Ethiopia coffee. Nothing is added to create it.
In Ethiopia coffee, variety, farm conditions, harvest decisions, processing, and roast determine how strongly this association appears.
Tasting notes are sensory associations. They are not flavors added to the coffee.
Flavor changes with variety, farm, elevation, processing, roast, water, grind, and brewing method. These are common tendencies, not guarantees.
