Blind Assessment
Delicate, sweetly herb- and flower-toned. Lemon verbena, violet, ginger blossom, baking chocolate, a crisp background hint of cedar in aroma and cup. Lightly juicy in structure, silky in mouthfeel. Baking chocolate comes forward in a comfortable finish.
Notes
Produced by Jairo Ivan Lopez entirely of the Chiroso variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Chiroso is an Ethiopian variety of Arabica that at some point in its history was brought to the Urrao region of Antioquia, Colombia, where it was initially cultivated by farmer Jose Arcadio Caro. GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan, that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected].
Bottom Line
Delicate aromatic intrigue in a subtle, gardeny cup.
