Damn. I'm drinking a cup of the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from MAO Horse today. It's REAL good. I wish people would quit putting half&half in it.

The aroma is beautiful. Big, floral, perfumey notes, very much like Earl Grey tea. Smells very sweet. Like a woman. A cute one. With a sweet, sweet voice. Like the girl (McKenzie) who takes my order for those little, circular stickers that go over the drinking hole in to-go cups in Washington. Dang, she sounds sweet.
Anyway, it's citrusy. The bright acidity tickles my tongue. Still roasty enough to give it some deeper caramel or chocolate tones. Light bodied and clean, it's a coffee I could drink all day. Wait, I have been drinking it all day.

It's a great coffee. The most extraordinary thing about it is the aroma. It's very pleasing and unusual. If you have a cup, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's very familiar. But not in a coffee.

MAO Horse (the Ethiopian exporter) and Royal Coffee (my importer/broker) keep impressing me with these coffees.
