Product Description

The dry fragrance has smells of lime peel zest with floral and spice notes that are much more than subtle. The floral aspects are definitely of the star jasmine variety - typical for Gesha coffee - and spiced sweetness that smells a bit like cinnamon-spiced honey. The wetted crust of this coffee pack hefty sweetness, like warm butterscotch syrup, only to be eclipsed by a resonant floral aroma that's released on the break. The cup has much of the aforementioned qualities, a delicious base brown sugar-to-butterscotch sweetness that lasts long into the aftertaste, and that is marked by delicate top notes often thought to be reserved for coffees of East Africa. A floral pearl jasmine tea note is easily recognized, and cinnamon and cardamom spice come through to a lesser extent. As the cup cools, citrus flavor and vibrance moves closer to pole position, taking on a flavor lime, replete with a tangy citric brightness that pairs well with black tea notes in the short finish. A toasted sesame note crops up as the cup cools adding a grain-like sweetness that comes off like honey-sesame candies.
