Blind Assessment: Elegantly fruit-toned, juicy-sweet. Passion fruit, mango, sandalwood, rhododendron, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Confidently sweet-tart structure with balanced acidity; plush, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Resonant, long, harmonious finish.

Notes: Produced by Joseph Brodsky of Ninety Plus Estates entirely of the Gesha variety of Arabica, and processed by a proprietary method the producer refers to as “Jose Alfred’s Innovation.” Plat Coffee is a specialty roaster and café in Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.platcoffee.com.

The Bottom Line: A distinctively composed Panama Gesha cup that expresses balance and finesse, as well as restrained power with its fruit and floral dance.
