Notes of sweet milk chocolate with a soft touch of tart citrus, leaning towards clementine come out in the forefront of the shot. The finish is clean with a long and lasting chocolate aftertaste.

As a starting point for extraction we use a 19 gram dose to yield a 27 gram shot. A 70% extraction ratio.

Ardi is grown in the Guji region of Sidama by a group of about 90 farmers. Ardi is immaculately processed at Girma Ademas mill in Southern Ethiopia. This coffee won 1st place in the 2010 the Ethiopia Taste of Harvest Competition, and another coffee from this same mill won 3rd place in 2010!
