Blind Assessment

Floral-toned, sweetly citrusy. Magrut lime, star jasmine, salted almond, fresh-cut oak, honey in aroma and cup. Juicy-sweet structure with brightly tart acidity; very silky, viscous mouthfeel. Citrusy and floral-toned finish.

Notes

Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also Geisha) by Adam and Rachel Overton. With its generally elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty cup, the Gesha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s most unique coffees. Although the Gesha variety originated in Ethiopia, it was “discovered” by the coffee world in 2004 growing in Boquete, Panama, and Panama continues to dominate the expanding world of Gesha. This particular version, however, is the outcome of efforts to commercialize Gesha in the region from which it originally came. It is processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee.

Bottom Line

A very pretty washed Ethiopia Geisha with complex citrus and spice-toned florals, and a compelling umami undercurrent.
