Blind Assessment

Complex, deep-toned. Apricot, pink grapefruit zest, salted caramel, cedar, lemon thyme in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweetly tart structure with juicy acidity; satiny mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of pink grapefruit, apricot and cedar.

Notes

Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also Geisha) by Adam and Rachel Overton. With its generally elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty cup, the Gesha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s most unique coffees. Although the Gesha variety originated in Ethiopia, it was “discovered” by the coffee world in 2004 growing in Boquete, Panama, and Panama continues to dominate the expanding world of Gesha. This particular version, however, is the outcome of efforts to commercialize Gesha in the region from which it originally came. It is processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Bargain Cafe is a specialty coffee roaster in Taitung, Taiwan.

Bottom Line

A washed Ethiopia redolent of stone fruit and salted caramel; juicy-sweet and rich.
