Blind Assessment

Complex, deep-toned, richly sweet. Black cherry, aromatic orchid, cocoa nib, amber, wild honey in aroma and cup. Juicy, sparkling acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant, coherent, very long finish that fulfills the promise of the cup.

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 is processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Heat Coffee is a nano-roaster in Taipei, Taiwan that strives to procure and roast the finest-quality coffee. Visit the Heat Coffee Facebook page for more information.

Bottom Line

This pretty washed Gesha draws you in with compelling aromatics and keeps your attention with a range of fruity, floral pleasures.
