Blind Assessment
Deeply sweet-savory, unusual. Caramel, goat milk yogurt, raspberry, cedar, sage in aroma and cup. Richly bittersweet in structure with bright acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Savory-leaning finish with undertones of caramel and sage.
Notes
Produced at San Gabriel Farm entirely of the admired SL28 variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method (whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying). 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
An appealingly oddball anaerobic coffee from Costa Rica with umami depth, zingy acidity and an eccentric, unconventional flavor profile.
