I cupped this out of the remnants of a friend's Leaderboard Coffee set a couple months ago, emailed him for the info, and forgot to input it (I didn't have the right number). This was a fantastic cup of coffee and I wish I had more (maybe I'll order some). Very peachy and pleasantly floral, like chamomile. Has body and a really nice touch of acidity. A great coffee.Cupping Method:Hario v60

A super interesting coffee for my 1,000th review, and the first Leaderboard roast of Season 13!
A really interesting aroma with spice, cinnamon, and fruit. I suspected it could be some type of co-ferment. Really did not expect a honey-washed Gesha.
The coffee itself was delicious and complex. When it’s hot, it has a slight rooibos/vanilla character with a hint of cinnamon, lavender and candied peach. Once cool, it’s raspberry peach tea, with a slight hint of lavender. An awesome coffee from one of the world’s best roasters!Cupping Method:I made it 3 times with Hario v60, between 195 and 199F, each time at an 18:1 ratio.

A unique and delightful masterpiece-- light roast flavors flow in this intriguing roast! The flavor profile centers around a rose/floral, with peach and graham as secondary flavors. There are touches of lemon, vanilla, and guava. This is a sweet roast with a nice acidity. It finished with a bit of astringency.Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

“The Alchemist” is an experimental anaerobic natural from Gasharu farms in the Nyamasheke district of the western province of Rwanda.
The dry aroma and flavour is full of macerated fruits, red and dark berries and chocolate, its bold clear and has excellent body. However, it’s the tropical malic acidity that really lifts the score for me with this coffee. It’s a bit boozy; there’s definitely a hint of funk… no more than a couple of notes on a bass guitar though.
It homogenises quite a bit as it cools rather than improving or opening up in any way but that doesn’t detract much really.
I have known a coffee like this to divide opinion a bit on a table with some liking this a lot more than others. I’m all for them, especially when the brakes are kept on a bit to add balance and refinement as has been achieved here. Sweet, juicy, aromatic, lots of body, not much to dislike here for me.Cupping Method:From Dog & Hat. Follow @the_qreview on Instagram for photos and the full post.

A really interesting coffee from Leaderboard Season 12. This was my first coffee, and I feel like I got a lot of the tasting notes right with black tea and floral, rhubarb, a bit of herbaceousness, and savoriness. I also picked up apricot and blueberry. I thought this was a bit more tart than Colombians.
Also throwing me off was that I recently had a Chiroso from Black and White Coffee that was nothing like this one.
In any case, V and I both like this coffee but lacked the knowledge of this varietal to identify it.Cupping Method:Blind tasting, Chemex one time, Hario v60 one time

Fruit forward, a bit savory. I gave it a 4 the first time, a 4.5 after trying it the second time. The first time it seemed quite acidic. -

Surprisingly restrained for a natural coffee, this drinks like a light peach lemonade iced black tea. I don’t get a ton of complexity and the florality is faint, but it’s very clean and easy to drink. It’s hard to describe, unless you’re drinking it, but basically all of that character is light, but present and restrained.Cupping Method:Hario v60 pourover
