Did you just happen to buy natural process Ethiopians every time rather than washed? A boozy berry liqueur taste is pretty common in those, but then I enjoy that myself and it's often present in natural coffees from other countries, not just Ethiopia. Maybe you just have a preference for washed coffee?
Now that I look back at my order history, that does seem to be the case. I hadn't realised that made such a difference to the flavour. I'll bear that in mind next time I order, thanks for the tip.
