Blind Assessment: Richly aromatic, deeply floral toned. Star jasmine, cocoa nib, dragonfruit, lychee, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Richly sweet with delicately bright acidity; full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Crisply sweet finish consolidates to notes of cocoa nib and sandalwood with undertones of star jasmine.

Notes: Comprised entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Cafe Red Bean Shop is a specialty coffee roaster based in Taipei, Taiwan. For more information, visit https://shopee.tw/caferedbean.  

The Bottom Line: A spice-toned, richly aromatic, floral-driven Peru Geisha cup that evokes a tropical garden — the cup’s flavor notes are especially balanced and exciting.
