Arabica Ethiopia Harrar by Nespresso
Arabica Ethiopia Harrar by Nespresso is a limited edition showcasing the single-origin Arabica from the Harrar region of Ethiopia. The aroma of this espresso is intense, sweet and fruity. It brings notes of ripe cherries and cascara accompanied by cereals, almonds and dark chocolate. The taste is ruled by the rounded and dry bitterness which is mellowed by creamy sweetness and a hint of ripe fruits.
Aroma
Harrar is richly aromatic, intense and sweet. Its clear, fruity notes bring to mind ripe cherries, blueberries, blood orange and cascara (the coffee cherry flesh). These are accompanied by cereals, almonds, dark chocolate and a light floral touch.
Taste
On the palate, we first get the creamy sweetness followed by a hint of sweet, ripe fruits. These are quickly substituted by rounded, dry and intense bitterness of dark cocoa and apricot kernels. The bitterness continues into the long aftertaste.
Extraction
The extraction is fast and steady, producing a good amount of crema.
