Blind Assessment

Deeply expressive and elegant. Star jasmine, Meyer lemon, ripe peach, sandalwood, and honey in aroma and cup. Bright yet balanced structure, with juicy, layered acidity and a silk-textured, buoyant mouthfeel. The finish is resonant, carrying floral, stone fruit, and sweet spice notes far into the long finish.

Notes

Produced at Hacienda La Esmeralda, entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 1980 Cafe is a Tainan City, Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster. Visit www.1980cafetw.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A high-toned washed Geisha from Hacienda La Esmeralda, showing dazzling aromatic complexity, integrated sweetness, and a remarkably elegant finish.
