Then, he sent them to the World Coffee Research to determine its variety, the result shows it is origin from an unknown Ethiopian Heirloom. He took the name So'ngna for this special variety, which means“the best”.

CR96-Ethiopia Natural Sidama Bensa Blue Donkey (Exclusive Lot) 230g
Note: Star jasmine, Kumquat, Salted caramel
Roast Level: Light
Acidity: 3.5 (1~5 from low to high)
Blind assessment：Richly aromatic, deeply sweet-tart. Dark chocolate, kumquat, amber, star jasmine, salted caramel in aroma and cup.
Sweet-tart, malic acidity; very full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Very long, focused finish with dark chocolate, complex citrus, and undertones of amber.
The bottom line：A very inviting natural-processed Ethiopia — exquisitely clean, complex, balanced and flavor-saturated, lyrically bright and paradoxically deep.

Acidity explanation:
When customers ask us to recommend beans, the number one question is about flavor, and the number two is “Is this acidic?”
First of all, the feeling of the acidity varies from person to person. Once I met two guests. A said he would like to drink acid coffee, while B said he would not drink acid coffee. So I made a Natural Yirgacheffe Blue Donkey for them. A said that it was too acidic, and B said that it was okay. It is clear that there are individual differences in the sensitivity of acidity.
Since there are individual differences, is there any criterion for reference?
We generally use several fruits to make the evaluation from the least acidic to the most acidic. From 1~5 is strawberry jam, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons. So that the scores of relative acidity can help the consumers with a reference in purchasing.
