just tried a cup of the Ethiopian Ghimbi that i roasted in the afternoon of the 19th , its ok but leaves a bit of a dry mouth after . maybe a day or 2 early yet . question for the learned ???? i got to thinking in this cold weather ( and our shop is cold) would it not take longer for the freshly roasted beans to off gas and settle down than it would in the summer warmer weather . johno edit .........as i get further down the cup ( still drinking it ) the better it gets , or maybe i am just getting used to it .
If the Ghimbi is dry processed, it can be common for DP Ethiopians that are roasted in a certain way to taste dry in the mouth, almost sort of dusty. I've got probably 7 different DP Ethiopians (Harrar, Sidamos, Limmus, etc.) and all but 2 can come out this way unless you are careful in the roast profile.
