Blind Assessment

Delicately fruit- and floral-toned. Magnolia, apricot, amber, cocoa nib, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with gently bright acidity; vibrantly silky mouthfeel. Resonant finish that leads with notes of magnolia and apricot, rounding to cocoa and amber in the long.

Notes

Composed entirely of the celebrated Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by a hybrid yellow honey method, in which skins are removed, but a thin layer of the sticky fruit flesh is allowed to remain on the beans during a brief fermentation step, during which mandarin peel was added to the ferment tank. Cafe Kreyol is a roaster in Manassas, Virginia with the mission of creating sustainable employment by way of specialty coffee. Visit www.cafekreyol.com or call 571-719-7018 for more information.

Bottom Line

A yellow honey-processed Colombia Geisha with notes of stone fruit, rich florals, and cocoa nib throughout, and an especially pretty mouthfeel, silky and subtle.
