Blind Assessment

Elegantly aromatic, juicy and sweetly floral. Blueberry, yellow peach, mandarin, wisteria and milk chocolate in aroma and cup. Bright, lively acidity; silky, buoyant mouthfeel. The finish is long and fragrant, leading with notes of yellow peach, wisteria and milk chocolate.

Notes

This coffee earned Finalist recognition in the Traditional Natural category, International division, of the inaugural Kenneth Davids Cup. Comprised entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). 1980 Cafe is a Tainan City, Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster.

Bottom Line

An exceptional Ethiopia-grown Geisha that brings the variety’s floral elegance together with the ripe fruit and rounded sweetness of natural processing, while maintaining impressive clarity and lift.
