An stunning coffee, floral, super tropical. Some strawberry and black tea.Cupping Method:Friend brought back a couple coffees from Canada. This was a single cup sample (I think that's all he would give me). Made it in my ceramic Hario v60.

Delicately balanced with perfect bright acidity through (raspberry and sweet mandarin orange as the roaster described it is exactly what I got). Changes to black tea than milk chocolate platform for me after cooling.Cupping Method:Hario v60, 203F and 205F. Didn't catch a huge difference between the two.

A very strong and unique roast! Floral overtones with cola undertones. Hints of tart strawberry ride a wave of acidity that mellows to a sweet grape at the finish.Cupping Method:pour over

Coffee that is so complex and multi-faceted (but delicious) it takes a lot of effort to describe. I am on my 3rd cupping here. I think first think that comes to mind is pink lemonade Starburst, then the really sweet ruby red grapefruit. I also get lavender and cocoa powder. The acidity is bright with a slight hibiscus character, and it's hard to stop drinking this one.Cupping Method:Pourover at 200F, 203F, 205F.

Smells like butterscotch pre-grind. Nice acidity, very fruity. I tasted pink grapefruit especially. -

This Carmen Estates Gesha is a coffee that truly captivates the senses. Upon the first sip, it's immediately evident that this is a coffee of exceptional quality.
The Earl Grey and bergamot notes are pronounced, offering a sophisticated and aromatic experience. The floral and tropical elements are intertwined, creating a delightful complexity. The initial burst of cherry and pineapple is brigh.
As the coffee lingers on the palate, the subtlety of Satsuma and lime emerges towards the end, adding layers of nuance to the flavor profile. What's remarkable is that the bergamot note remains present throughout, ensuring a harmonious and balanced taste from start to finish. Theres definitely a lot of acidity here, so folks should note that depending on their preferences.Cupping Method:Brewed at 201/203F in a Hario v60. Comparison tasting with another Rogue wave Gesha (natural/extended fermentation)
