I have never tasted lavender, so I had no point of comparison, but I did taste what might be grape jam.; if I close my eyes and concentrate. My wife thinks she detects hints of citrus.

Ethiopia Guji from Portola Coffee Roasters (MistoBox )

The Ethiopia Guji was carefully roasted for you by Portola Coffee Roasters. This coffee was grown in the Guji, Sidama region of Ethiopia. Through persistent dedication to coffee quality, various smallholder producers produced a spectacular crop of coffee. Grown at an altitude of 1,900 - 2,000 meters, this is a great example of how stellar fully washed coffees can be. The lots consisted of Ethiopian heirloom varieties. This coffee is delicate and jasmine tea-like with high notes of clementine and spiced notes of gingerbread.

I brewed this one in the Chemex with a paper filter. I am recovering from a cold so nasal congestion could be affecting my sense of taste and smell. I think the aroma is woodsy floral. The taste was mellow and soft with none of the bitterness I tasted in the "El Salvador". Instead of a clementine, I tasted guava. This was an enjoyable coffee. Perhaps one to keep for lazy Sunday mornings while reading on the iPad.

I'm not sure I have the palate to detect the "praline, maple and Gala apple acidity". I did not taste any fruit at all. I'm not a Chemex expert but I have brewed many enjoyable cups of light roasted Ethiopians in the last year. I am using a basic brewing guide which isn't much different than the one from MistoBox.
