Blind Assessment

Massively rich and intricate. Minty dark chocolate, sandalwood, vanilla, narcissus-like flowers, a pungent hint of ripe mango in aroma and cup. Sweetly brisk acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Flowers, chocolate and mango ring on in a resonant, richly drying finish.

Notes

First planted by Don Enrique Vasquez, who is said to have brought the celebrated Geisha (also spelled Gesha) variety to Panama from Costa Rica in 1898, these trees grow on the slopes of Volcan de Baru in Boquete at elevations between 5,000 and 5,700 feet. With its generally elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty, cup, the Geisha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s unique coffees. Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster active in Sacramento, California since 2005.
