Blind Assessment

Deeply, delicately aromatic, high-toned. Strawberry guava, cocoa nib, mandarinquat, brown sugar, hazelnut in aroma in cup. Sweetly tart with bright, balanced acidity; silky, lightly viscous mouthfeel. Flavor-saturated, long, engaging finish.

Bottom Line

A coffee of the celebrated Geisha variety grown in Kona and processed by an experimental wine-yeast-fermented natural method designed to encourage Champagne-like acidity.
