Thirteenth Sun Tasting Notes
Re-Introducing Thirteenth Sun, a remarkable blend that combines the qualities of washed and natural Ethiopian coffees. This rich and intricate roast presents a bright profile adorned with layered floral notes of peach, honeysuckle, and jasmine, complemented by bergamot and grapefruit citrus, and subtle hints of lavender. As you explore this captivating cup, you’ll discover depths showcasing vibrant red fruit and blueberry notes, along with the sweetness of raspberry, pineapple, guava, and apricot jam. The flavor profile evolves depending on the preparation method, cup temperature, and time since roast. Each sip offers nuance, making Thirteenth Sun a celebration of exploration for coffee enthusiasts.
About The Name
The name Thirteenth Sun comes from a novel by contemporary Ethiopian novelist Dagiachew Werku, as well as the Ethiopian tourism tagline “Thirteen Months of Sunshine.” “Thirteenth” refers to the traditional Ethiopian calendar, which features 12 months of thirty days and a thirteenth month, called Pagume, which lasts for 5 days.
