Blind Assessment

Intensely floral and fruit-saturated. Gardenia, ripe blueberry, candied lime, cocoa nib, honey in aroma and cup. Crisp, lively acidity; silky, very vibrant mouthfeel. Cocoa nib and blueberry lead in the long, resonant finish.

Notes

Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also Geisha) by Adam and Rachel Overton. With its generally elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty cup, the Gesha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s most unique coffees. Although the Gesha variety originated in Ethiopia, it was “discovered” by the coffee world in 2004 growing in Boquete, Panama, and Panama continues to dominate the expanding world of Gesha. This particular version, however, is the outcome of efforts to commercialize Gesha in the region from which it originally came. It is processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.  

Bottom Line

A standout natural-processed Ethiopia Gesha: fragrant, fruit-forward, and elegantly structured, with the variety’s signature floral clarity paired with juicy berry depth.
