Blind Assessment: Elegantly bright, richly sweet. Apricot, bergamot, cocoa nib, sandalwood, star jasmine in aroma and cup. Balanced structure with high-toned acidity; silky, viscous mouthfeel. Long, lingering finish centers around notes of cocoa nib and apricot, with a shimmer of star jasmine.

Notes: Produced at Finca La Mula entirely of the celebrated Geisha (also spelled Gesha) variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). 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]  

The Bottom Line: A harmonious, very satisfying washed Panama cup, classic in its delicate balance of stone fruit, cocoa nib and spicy florals.
