This coffee is remarkable for a single reason alone - the unmistakable candied violet that hits mid-palate.
The rest is really nice. A very Concord grape juice lead-in, and a honeyed sweetness.
I've gotten just ok results from my previous Kawa experiences and I thought maybe it had just gotten too big. But this is the first blend I've really seen of two experimental type Colombians and it just really draws a special character and balance. It's bold and unique, and ultimately, quite delicious!Cupping Method:I stuck to 197F, 18:1. It did well on both v60 and Chemex. Photo is 22g in.

One of the better of many Ethiopians I've had this year. strong bergamot and lavender notes with white peach and concord grape. tremendous balance and mouth feel. Has that nice mid palate bite that a strongly brewed black tea carries. Really nice.Cupping Method:92C, 18:1 on Hario v60. from the Revolver Advent Calendar.

Blueberry wine, jasmine, funky, a nice note of bright acidity. Lots of fruit then the floral hits and finishes nice and clean.
Complex and delicious if you like naturals. Favorite coffee from Panama this year (as much as I enjoy those clean geshas).Cupping Method:92C, 17:1 in v60. Medium grind. Lighter approach helps tame funk.

A very nice espresso with a big dark chocolate note at the front of the palate, just a touch of spice and smokiness, and a chocolate/blackberry finish and linger. Medium mouthfeel and crema. Went very nicely with a chocolate/hazelnut pastry.Cupping Method:At Nouve, a French bakery in Lexington, MA

The acidity, body and sweetness are all very pleasant and in balance with a clean and enjoyable aftertaste too. It doesn't pop with flavours, it could be more complex too but there's not much to dislike really. All cups were clean, sweet, uniform.Cupping Method:Follow @the_qreview on Instagram for photos and the full post.

An interesting and tasty coffee. The aroma smells like a chocolate/goji berry bar I had recently. Goji berry is the primary note I get in the coffee. I would say that's better or worse as I do think your traditional red fruits are a bit cleaner and more tangy. This has that slightly earthy, herby, winey note that comes with goji. I also get red tea and a sage-like note. I think this is probably more of a coffee for connoisseurs than your everyday drinker, but let's see what my wife scores it at!Cupping Method:I got this as a sample from an industry friend. 17:1, 92C on v60.

A slightly funky but smooth coffee with black tea, caramel, and a little bit of plum acidity. It was nicely balanced but didnt quite stand out in any particular way.Cupping Method:Hario v60, 18:1, 196F. I had this a few weeks ago, but forgot to enter.

Smells amazing, strawberry and chocolate. In the cup it is more interesting than really delicious. -

Super clean gesha with tea and sweet orange notes. Somewhat typical at this point for me in terms of the lighter/cleaner flavor for Bolivia. It's a very easy to drink coffee with a lovely mouthfeel, but lacks a winning note compared to some of the geshas from other origins.Cupping Method:I got 40g and tried it twice. Tried hotter and fine the 2nd time around and still found the flavor notes fairly light aside from the tea.
