Blind Assessment

Richly chocolaty, floral-toned. Chocolate fudge, dried black cherry, roasted almond butter, narcissus, marjoram in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet structure with gentle but harmonious acidity; creamy, viscous mouthfeel. Chocolaty and richly floral finish, long and lingering.

Notes

Coffee from trees of the botanical variety Geisha (also Gesha) grown on Price Peterson’s Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama first introduced this extraordinary variety of Arabica to the world. This is a wet-processed or “washed” version, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting but before drying. GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected].

Bottom Line

A deftly darker-roasted Geisha cup with distinct notes of chocolate fudge throughout, supported by creamy nut and sweetly spicy flowers.
