Blind Assessment

Delicately sweet-tart, fruit-driven. Lychee, raspberry, cocoa nib, honeysuckle, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with bright, juicy acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of honeysuckle and cocoa nib.

Notes

Produced entirely of the Gesha (also spelled Geisha) variety of Arabica and processed in the whole fruit by a complex sequence of fermentations including natural carbonic maceration (whole fruit is fermented in sealed tanks of CO2), before slow sun-drying. Mikava Coffee was founded in 2013 by the father-son team of Paul and Kevin Doyle, who specialize in experimental processing methods designed to bring out the complexity, sweetness and florality in coffee fruit.

Bottom Line

A balanced, harmonious, subtly original Colombia Gesha cup: fruity, cocoa-toned, delicately floral.
