Blind Assessment

Sweetly tart, balanced. Pomegranate, lily, cashew butter, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning structure with brisk acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. Gently drying finish centered around notes of cashew and cedar.

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). Cafe Fugu is a nano-roaster and coffee shop based in Taipei, Taiwan.

Bottom Line

A brightly sweet, gently tart washed Ethiopia Geisha with rich nut and aromatic wood notes.
