    Beautiful packaging and overall experience.

    This natural Wush Wush coffee is a layered, intriguing one that leaves a lasting impression. The sweetness is upfront, evoking watermelon Jolly Ranchers, balanced by bittersweet orange for a touch of complexity. Clove and sage add an earthy, spiced warmth, while a crisp note of Korean snow pear brightens the finish.

    For those drawn to fruit-forward and adventurous coffees, this one stands out. It's not a typical daily brew, it pushes boundaries with its mix of sweetness, spice, and herbal depth. A unique cup for those who enjoy exploring bold flavors.

    Leaderboard Season 14 blind tasting.

    On the grind, a fruit jammy aroma (Polaner's tropical?) and a hint of wine. From the first sip, it was clear that this was something specialfruity and floral, even more than a gesha.

    I had a feeling it was a coferment, and I was right. The flavors were very bright, with distinct notes of strawberry and lemonade adding a refreshing brightness. There was also a hint of lychee, which added a unique, sweet dimension, but not overwhelming.

    I got heavy lavender note (not rose which was in the co-ferment) - this was pretty strong and tied in with a bit of funkiness. This is a really fun coffee that tastes different at each temprature.

    Great to find out it was Resident, a roaster that's barely put a foot wrong in my multiple experiences with them.

    Cupping Method:I made 2 batches on Hario v60 - 196F, 18:1 ratio (20g/360g).

    Loved the spicy, earthy, peppery notes in this. A joy of an espresso that has a nice crema and is packed with flavor.

    Absolutely bonkers, unique coffee that's perfectly described by the roaster.

    MAIZ. Well, what does that even mean. It's not really a note I've seen in coffee. But this one, on pourover, it's blueberry, black tea, chocolate, and then clear as day, Mexican corn. It's the best kind too, sweet and distinct.

    As espresso, the corn is present but more as an aftertaste. It's very nice, chocolate, gorgeous crema. Just a touch floral. Very smooth with a nice blackberry mid-palate and just a hint of a corn finish.

    Cupping Method:Chemex pourover, and in my espresso machine (95C)

    This is a well-crafted and delicious roast! It presents with a strong coffee flavor, with a blueberry tilt and a hint of sweet corn. It is a bit tart with a strong, but lightly sweet, acidity.

    Clean, fruity, smooth coffee that was unique to me as I tasted blind. I got blood orange, milk chocolate, light almond, light hazelnut, and just a touch of lime at the end. Naturally sweet and tart (sweettart?)

    I can't remember exactly what a makrut lime/kaffir tastes like that the roaster has suggested but this was a great and unique type of coffee that is a reminder of how much better Myanmar coffee has gotten in the last 5-10 yeras.

    Cupping Method:Blind tasting with a Hario v60, from the Revolver Coffee advent calendar

    Smells just like sugar cane juice out of the bag!

    Smooth and tastes good, acidity is a bit simple.
