Blind Assessment
Floral and fruit-forward. Star jasmine, mango, cocoa nib, sugar cane, tangerine zest in aroma and cup. Gently bright, balanced acidity; satiny-smooth body. The long finish centers around cocoa nib and mango sweetness.
Notes
Produced by Juan Ramon Alvarado of Finca Don Jose, entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea is a pioneer specialty coffee roaster established in the early 1980s that has gracefully and successfully moved with the times and now offers a menu of extremely refined small-lot, single-origin coffees. Visit www.willoughbyscoffee.com or call 800-388-8400 for more information.
Bottom Line
A polished natural-processed Costa Rica Geisha: sweet, floral and quietly complex, with well-integrated fruit and chocolate notes.
