Blind Assessment

Extraordinary: soaringly aromatic, intricate and luminous. Narcissus, Bing cherry, lemon balm, passion fruit and wildflower honey in aroma and cup. Brilliant, crystalline acidity; buoyant, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is exceptionally long and perfumed, led by narcissus, lemon balm and Bing cherry notes that unfold slowly into the long.

Notes

Produced by the Peterson Family of Hacienda Esmeralda, entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.

Bottom Line

A breathtaking Panama Geisha with extraordinary aromatic intensity, otherworldly sweetness and impeccable structure.
