Blind Assessment

Delicately fruity, sweetly herbaceous. Apricot, cocoa nib, vanilla bean, freesia, lemon-thyme in aroma and cup. Savory-leaning structure with brisk acidity; viscous, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The crisp finish leads with notes of apricot and lemon-thyme.

Notes

The celebrated Geisha (also spelled Gesha) variety of Arabica first came to the coffee world’s attention growing in Panama. This particular version, however, is the outcome of successful efforts to commercialize Geisha in the region from which it originally came, western Ethiopia, from seed selected from wild trees of the Geisha variety in the nearby Gori Gesha forest. Processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Lee Dong Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taichung, Taiwan.

Bottom Line

A multi-layered washed Ethiopia Gesha Village, sweetly savory and richly herbaceous with undertones of cocoa nib and vanilla bean.
