Blind Assessment
Delicately and confidently sweet. Watermelon candy, lemon-thyme, cocoa nib, freesia, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; very smooth, full mouthfeel. Sweetly herbaceous finish.
Notes
Produced by Jairo Ivan Lopez entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the carbonic maceration method, which involves fermenting whole coffee fruit inside a sealed container that has been flushed with CO2, then drying the coffee still in the whole fruit. Peach Coffee Roasters is an Atlanta, Georgia-based specialty roaster. Visit peachcoffeeroasters.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A carbonic macerated coffee that meanders pleasingly through notes of candy-like sweetness and spicy florals, atop a base of sweet herbs and cocoa nib.
