Blind Assessment

Vibrant, savory-sweet and crisply fruit-toned. Red currant, pomegranate, blood orange, wisteria and cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy acidity; full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is lively and persistent, with red currant, wisteria and cocoa nib tones.

Notes

Produced by members of the GuKeng Farmers Association, entirely of the SL34 variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method, in which some of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. GuKeng is a new label co-established by the GuKeng Farmers Association of Yunlin County and local coffee farmers. The coffee is roasted by the farmers’ association and is sold at their local farmers' market. Email p07kulon@ms56.hinet.net for more information.

Bottom Line

A distinctive Taiwan-grown SL34 that recalls the variety’s classic combination of tart red fruit and florals, while honey processing adds rounded sweetness and depth to its bright, energetic structure.
