How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 539 of 857 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Coffee Compass describe this coffee as fruity, chocolate. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.
