August’s Trade Coffee comes from Feast Coffee & Culture Company. The beans are from Ethiopia’s Sidama region from a Shantawene village. Opening the bag of beans, I initially smell a pleasant floral aroma with a hint fruitness. A second whiff of the bag, I also get this nutty/peanut butter aroma.

Making my latte, I’m fairly disappointed at the lack of flavor. I didn’t taste much of that normal coffee flavor even when I drop down to a 1:1 coffee:milk ratio. It has a very light fruity and floral flavors with some sweetness. Ultimately, the lack of the “coffee flavor” is really disppointing for me.
