Additional Notes from Quietly

Magnolia is my love letter to espresso. It is our new school espresso that delights in those surprisingly fruity shots with bright and sparkling acidity. It always seeks out sweetness paired with fun floral notes and bright acidity. It is all the best aspects of modern espresso and works to remind me that the possibilities for a good cup are endless when we forever seek coffees that are in bloom.

We have skipped the last three Yurko harvests opting for our returning Guji favourites from Yabitu Koba and Layo Teraga. However, after tasting this year’s lot #8, it seems like a big mistake. Originally formed in 1977, the station is now part of the beloved Kata Muduga Union and collects cherries from roughly 579 farms. They employ semi-forest farming systems that mix coffee with false banana trees and maize that ensures high quality without fertilizer or extensive water usage.

This lot #7 from Yurko opens with wonderful lilac aromatics that work perfectly with its bright citrus acidity, which zips from tangerine to lime zest and a robust lemon flavour. It quickly shifts towards more cooked fruit notes, think lemon candy or key lime pie before ending on a lush stonefruit and black tea finish. Despite changing weather, Magnolia and Yurko maintain sunshine in bright in the cup!
