The new Rocketfuelcoffee.com Triple X. Shade grown, certified organic, fair trade ETHIOPIAN YIRGACHEFFE BOLD. Dream of the African forests of Ethiopia and Kenya, the “Kaffa” region – the birthplace of coffee. Coffee grew wild here. This is Sidamo Yirgacheffe, picked and screen dry processed on raised beds.

Taste for layers of fruit including berries and peaches, mangoes and then nuttiness… but then the darker roast sets in with chocolate and spice. Basically all the tastes as it hits your tongue with glorious yumminess.

PROFILE: City Plus Roast, bold strength, deeper, fruit tones; Smooth, rich, Sweet, nutty, incredibly delicious.

1 level scoop or tablespoon for each 8 oz cup of water

This is a complex coffee that's very bold, but smooth at the same time.

This is an excellent cup, and is different from what I expected. Being listed as Yirgacheffe Bold, I was not expecting the smooth, medium finish, which was very pleasing. As the cup develops, the profile shifts and present an excellent array of flavors. Due to the moderate price, as compared to Rocketfuel’s other offerings, and the wonderful flavor profile, this ranks as my favorite offering to date. The flavor profile is right in my comfort zone and I really enjoyed my time with this bean.

 By way of cigar pairing, I’d probably look to a dryer profile to balance the syrupy finish on the coffee. I’d also want a sweet Maduro, and so I’d probably elect the Ashton Aged Maduro or the Arturo Fuente Flora Fina Maduro.
