Descriptions:
Ecco Caffe’s organic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from the Conga Cooperative has a sweet and flowery fragrance. Very subtle perfumes come through in medium-light bodied cup of this drinkable coffee. A light aftertaste of nuts will leave you contemplating the complex and interesting flavors locked in every bean.
An Ethiopian roast with a citrus scent that gives way to a bright orange flavor that is semi-sweet and semi-bitter: a nice balance to a light-bodied coffee that leaves a tangy aftertaste.
Sweet stone fruit warming spices are the scents this mild coffee has to offer. Light-bodied and light-flavored this coffee is perfect for a newbie at the coffee world, or great for a seasoned pro looking for something easier to drink.
