Blind Assessment

Very sweet, tropical and floral-toned. Vanilla orchid, guava, dried ginger, kola nut, lemongrass in aroma and cup. Vibrant, juicy acidity; silky, viscous mouthfeel. Exceptionally long, harmonious, integrated finish.

Notes

This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 28 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by Wilton Benitez of Granja Paraiso 92, entirely of the Gesha variety of Arabica, and processed by the double-anaerobic thermal shock method, in which the coffee fruit, after having been first sanitized with ozone, undergoes two stages of fermentation. First, the whole cherries are submerged under water for 48 hours, then the beans are pulped and fermented with wine yeasts. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A heady, intoxicating, lushly aromatic anaerobic Colombia Gesha that’s tropical, rich and elegantly composed.
