Blind Assessment
Richly sweet with an intricate, layered complexity. Honeycomb, wisteria-like flowers, peach, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Gently tart, juicy acidity; syrupy, buoyantly lively mouthfeel. The peach note in particular carries into a rich, sweet-toned finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also spelled Geisha). 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. Acatenango is the name of a coffee-growing municipality as well as a famous volcano overlooking the Antigua Valley of Guatemala. Ragamuffin is a high-end nano-roaster with a charming and compelling story: Shawn and Sarah Pritchett with children in tow manage a family business dedicated to community values and quality coffee.

Who Should Drink It
A quiet but still vivacious and distinctive version of the rare and always surprising Gesha profile.
