Blind Assessment

Richly aromatic, tropical. Lychee, pineapple, cocoa nib, lemon verbena, ginger blossom in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with bright, juicy acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Long, resonant, flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

This coffee earned the second-highest rating in a cupping of coffees from roasters in North American beach and coastal communities for Coffee Review’s April 2021 report. Produced by the Lamastus family of Elida Estate entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica and processed by the anaerobic natural method (whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen). Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea is a pioneer specialty coffee roaster established in the early 1980s that has gracefully and successfully moved with the  times and now offers a menu of extremely refined small-lot, single-origin coffees.

Bottom Line

A sophisticated fruit bomb of a coffee — the celebrated Geisha variety experimentally processed by world-class Elida Estate in Panama.
