Shantawene

An unexpectedly different flavor profile from the aroma. I liked it although I was hoping for more of the sweetness that I smelled to come through. On the other hand the familiar tart fruits of Ethiopian beans did not disappoint. I liked it very much.

Every 50 or so Moustache deliveries, I'll run into one I don't care for. Shantawene is that for me. While it's certainly intriguing and offers a moderate level of complexity, the flavors just aren't pleasant IMO. Maybe a bit of strawberry sweetness, but I'm not picking up on marshmallow or chocolate. There's a moderate level of acid present that when combined with a certain earthy, fungal nature to this bean, does not sit well with me. Your mileage may vary.
