Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly aromatic, fruity, spice-toned. Baking spices, pineapple, dark chocolate, cedar, apple cider in aroma and small cup. Crisp, velvety mouthfeel; spice-toned, fruity finish. In three parts milk, suggests a pineapple milkshake.

Notes

Produced at San Gabriel Farm, from trees of the Caturra and Catuai varieties of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic honey method (beans, skin removed, are fermented in a hermetically sealed container before drying). Cinnamon and pineapple also were added to the tank during fermentation. GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee.

Bottom Line

An unusual Costa Rica espresso, anaerobically processed with the addition of pineapple and cinnamon during fermentation, resulting in an amped-up fruit-and-spice dominated shot.
