I actually cupped this Bold Bean Julian Calderon Rosado/Pink Bourbon alongside a high-end Gesha yesterday that was spectacular and I don't think there's much between them in terms of quality. This is much better value. It's quite floral, with jasmine tea and honeysuckle off the bat. The mid-palate is fruity with blueberry and cherry. On the second cupping I picked up a bit of passionfruit.
It's extremely clean and smooth with a wonderful mouthfeel. Lots of natural sweetness The finish is back to the jasmine note.
The roasting work here is quite appealing - very uniform and visually appealing with an appealing aroma out of the bag. Definitely a farmer and roaster to check out here.Cupping Method:My usual formula, 18:1, 92C on the Hario v60.

Kenyans for me are purple or red in terms of the fruit. This one is purple and really, really good. Blackcurrant, grape, very sweet, and very smooth. Almost has a Ribena character to it.
Silky mouthfeel. It's a touch floral and a touch tropical as well. This one is a crowd pleaser.Cupping Method:18:1, 92C on v60 works great.

I think it would be tough to get a bad cup of coffee out of this Ethiopian. I couldn't quite get a sensational one.
Beautifully roasted beans visually. Pleasant chocolate aroma on the pre and post grind. Jasmine is strong in this one, then I get purple grape and pomelo. Then the jasmine/black tea returns. The mouthfeel is very smooth and there's a nice natural sweetness. The jasmine is very prominent so if you like this style you will like this coffee.Cupping Method:I tried a few different temps, 91C to 95C. 18:1 ratio on v60.
