Gesha Village Oma Honey
Super rare, exquisite gesha from the famed Gesha Village in Ethiopia. The clarity of flavor will floor you. It is perhaps the clearest tasting "jasmine tea" flavor note I have ever personally cupped. If I closed my eyes while sipping this, I would be hard pressed to tell it apart from a high grade jasmine pearl tea when hot, or a 99 cent Arizona Arnold Palmer when cooled. Incredibly low noise floor. No distractions. An inky black background that allows for perfect flavor definition and separation. Unbelievably good.
This particular lot comes from the top 10% of all scored coffees out of Gesha Village's total farm production. It is incredibly fine and mostly reserved for competing baristas at the highest levels (or serious home baristas). I recommend this coffee only if you have a well dialed-in grinder, excellent water at your disposal, and are confident in your brewing ability, as it is an excellent benchmarking coffee. Mind, this coffee is incredibly expensive. It goes without saying, but at this level, price no longer equates linearly with quality. Please consider your purchase carefully. (Then again, if you are considering buying this coffee you likely already have an idea of what you're getting into.)
This lot of gesha ("1931") is honey processed, where the freshly harvested cherries are partially pulped and sent directly to raised African beds to dry with the mucilage on seed for 16 days. Refreshingly simple in a world of increasingly complex processing methodologies, and yet done with such attention to detail that it tastes like it's from another planet.
Roasted spectacularly by our friends at Glitch Coffee and Roasters in Tokyo, Japan, rested for 7 days, then vacuum packed and frozen. I recommend enjoying this coffee right away.
