    Flavor Profile:
    An exceptional expression of blackberry, mango, and bergamot, a tropical and floral trio that delivers clarity and depth. A smooth note of high quality bittersweet chocolate provides a rich foundation that complements the fruit.

    Acidity and Balance:
    The acidity is refined, lively, and well controlled. It brings energy to the cup without becoming sharp. The balance between sweetness and bitterness is elegant and satisfying.

    Presentation and Service:
    The coffee was presented with care by a knowledgeable Goldchild barista and server. Their explanation of the coffee's origin and flavor added meaningful depth to the experience. Came with well-carbonated and flavorful sparkling water that tied things together.

    Overall Impression:
    This espresso stands out for its flavor, structure, and thoughtful service. A beautiful example of expert preparation and a bar team dedicated to their craft.

    Cupping Method:At Goldchild in San Diego. Current house espresso.

    A delicious pour over coffee that combines the best qualities of gesha with subtle tropical notes. General honeysuckle tea like character. I would say that sweetness is lychee and yes, a touch sugarcane, though soft and doesn't hit you over the head. It's one of those coffees that's delicious and you're a little sad when it's gone.

    Cupping Method:Pourover at Goldchild in Gaslamp District

    didn't actually catch the specific roast on this one, but damn.

    There's great cold brew and then there's great Kyoto.

    The depth of the chocolate no here it's just unreal. I get a plum jam second note, but it has a great complimentary acidity.

    Balanced, sweet coffee with a nice sweet orange note, slight pineapple tropicality and crisp apple like acidity. Tea-like and very clean. A good coffee though probably not worth the $15 pourover.

    Cupping Method:At Goldchild in SD Gaslamp District
