Aricha Seven arrives
Thursday, July 19, 2007
The superpremium Ethiopian coffees, Aricha 7 and Beloya 1 return to Museo.

During the first run, Aricha 7 sold out in three days.

These coffees are famous for being the first two coffees to be flown from origin/coffee farm to the roaster, instead of being shipped on a boat, often taking 3+ months before arriving at the roaster. The beauty of this is these coffees cannot absorb off flavours from the jute sacks normally used to ship coffee, nor do they undergo rapid climate change while being shipped in containers on boats.

As for the coffee themselves, the roaster describes the flavours as "explosive."

After testing Aricha ourselves, we agree. This is truly exceptional coffee. What makes it exceptional are the flavours: exploding with notes and aromas of peach and field strawberry, with honeysuckle notes throughout and a rosehip finish as it cools.
The difference in flavour profile of this coffee is astonishing; it is smooth, clean and without bitterness.

Novo Coffee describes Beloya's flavour profile as dried cherry, cabernet and dark chocolate. This week, Beloya makes its Museo debut.
