Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-tart, fruit-toned. Concord grape, dark chocolate, star anise, sandalwood, pineapple saltwater taffy in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with tart-savory acidity; full, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned Concord grape takes center stage in the finish, supported by star anise and dark chocolate.

Notes

Produced by Alejo Castro of Volcán Azul entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic washed method, in which the de-pulped coffee fruit is fermented with limited oxygen, in this case with the addition of wine yeasts, before washing and drying. Kafe Coffee Roastery is a specialty roaster based in Zhubei, Taiwan. Visit shopee.tw/zengkaochen for more information.

Bottom Line

An aromatically exciting washed anaerobic Costa Rica Geisha saturated with high-toned fruit, deep chocolate, and rich spice tones.
