Blind Assessment

Lush, orchestral, uniquely savory. Ginger blossom, pineapple guava, frankincense, pistachio, fennel seed, hint of cumin in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet, umami-laced acidity; crisp, silky mouthfeel. Expressive, harmonious, complete finish.

Notes

Produced by Paul and Kevin Doyle of Finca Mikava, entirely of the Gesha variety of Arabica, and processed by a hybrid washed method involving a double-phase fermentation in sealed tanks filled with carbon dioxide, first in whole cherry and again after depulping. Mossto from the first fermentation is added, along with an additional amount of mossto from the two prior fermentations.  Fermentation continued for approximately two additional days until the desired PH was reached. Chuck’s Roast was founded by Chuck Patton, founder of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, to bring rare, often elusive coffees to discerning coffee lovers. Visit www.chuckroastscoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A profoundly original Colombia Gesha that fuses explosive florals, tropical fruit and savory spice into a cup of extraordinary complexity, precision and multilayered resonance.
