Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-tart. Candied apple, praline, clove, magnolia, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with brisk acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Wood-framed, floral finish.

Notes

The celebrated Geisha (also spelled Gesha) variety of Arabica first came to the coffee world’s attention growing in Panama. This particular version, however, is the outcome of successful efforts to commercialize Geisha in the region from which it originally came, western Ethiopia, from seed selected from wild trees of the Geisha variety in the nearby Gori Gesha forest. Processed by the honey method, in which some of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. Lee Dong Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taichung, Taiwan.

Bottom Line

A crisp, balanced honey-processed Ethiopia with candy-like sweetness and rich aromatic wood notes throughout.
