Over the years we have offered Don Julian's well regarded Pacamara, but they also grow Geisha. This season we were able to acquire both varieties and this Natural processed Geisha will be the last Geisha of the season from this farm. We directly imported the coffee by airfreight and have had a Direct Trade relationship with the producer for many years.

Delicate, medium fruit penetration. Tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, mango and kiwi. Mild florals, mostly light jasmine as is typical plus concentrated sugar. Smooth and silky finish. A traditionally processed natural that let's the natural flavor components of geisha express itself. Very clean. All Geisha is expensive, this one actually being more affordable than many.

San Roque is a natural mutation of Kenya's famous SL-28, that adapted itself to the growing conditions of Costa Rica. SL-28 itself was a Bourbon derivative developed in the 1930s by Scott Labs, in Kenya. The variety is best known for its winey profile, with tannic, fruity notes, bright highlights and somewhat dry finish. It has obvious complexity. A dominant flavor trait of San Roque is off cited as tasting a bit like cola.

Cup Characteristics: Big, fruity Natural that is powerful but very clean. Lots of florals were a surprising element here. Flavors of plum, tamarind, maple syrup, cola. In some aspects it plays as a Geisha. Very exotic and delicious.
