Blind Assessment

Lush, floral, deeply aromatic, floral-toned. Wisteria, pink peppercorn, dried mango, bergamot, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Delicately bright, vibrant acidity; full, syrupy smooth mouthfeel. Crisp, floral finish with undertones of pink peppercorn.

Notes

This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 29 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. 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 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 complex, decadently sweet, flavor-saturated Ethiopia Geisha — bright, deep, satiating, lyrical.
