Reviews for Ethiopian Fancy

Thought Id try something new with my last order. Took a chance and got some Ethiopian Fancy. You have got to try this coffee! Wow! One of the best I have had. Will always be on my order from now on.

The great aroma and somewhat lighter body make this a great breakfast coffee. I too use this as a change of pace coffee but try to always keep some on hand. (I'm pretty much addicted to Major Dickason). I also appreciate the honest writeup. Yes, quality has varied more over the last 10-12 years for all the reasons you mention. Younger drinkers may not have have the opportunity to drink Ethiopia's best from the late 1980''s when Yerga Cheffe could be rated as the worlds best.

A coffee that did not catch my fancy. Searching for a certain sweet,rich,full flavor. More medium brew. I tried coffee and couldn't finish my first cup. Disappointed, I mailed the rest to my son in Chicago. I'm waiting for his view. It had a flavor that I have never tasted before. Maybe I'm ignorant to how coffees can taste. All I know for sure is Ethiopian Fancy is not for me.

I've been including the Ethiopian Fancy in our regular Peets purchases because we've loved the aromatics and the fine, delicate body. Now, we've used it to make a home blend with Kenya Auction Lot and the last few beans of the recent Peets Burundi special lot. Wow, another amazingly complex cup. These African coffees, each individually and together are the house favorites. Can't wait for the Uzuri Blend to reappear too !

I love Major Dickason

What an intriguing coffee! I love how Ethiopian evolves throughout the year - sometimes bright and lemony-tangy, later heavier and intoxicatingly floral. Right now, I find it to be sweet and floral, with these warm, bready notes. It's texture was tangy and clean, but thicker than that juicy fruitiness I love in Kenya Auction Lot. Very loooooong finish hangs around the nose!

I love this coffee, it is smooth tasting. and is great as a cafe latte.
