Blind Assessment

Elegantly sweet, fruit- and floral toned. Dried Bing cherry, star jasmine, cocoa nib, sandalwood, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy, bright acidity; crisp, silky mouthfeel. Resounding and very long finish centered around notes of Bing cherry, cocoa nib, and star jasmine.

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 was processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.  

Bottom Line

A sophisticated, nuanced natural-processed Ethiopia Gesha centered around notes of dried stonefruit, cocoa nib and sweet herbs.
