During a blind tasting session in the Leaderboard Coffee game, Season 14, this coffee's unique characteristics shone through. Although initially mistaken for a Colombian origin, the quality and distinctiveness of a washed Gesha variety were unmistakable.
The Seth Taylor Gilmer Cordova Gesha immediately stands out with its large, beautiful beans, including the occasional peaberry. The aroma is enticing, setting high expectations for the tasting experience.
This Gesha variety delighted the palate with a complex flavor profile. The notes included:
Lavender: A floral note that added a delicate sweetness.
Black Tea: A subtle yet distinctive undertone that provided a refined and elegant taste.
Peach: A fruity sweetness that enhanced the overall flavor complexity.
Pineapple: A tropical hint that gave the coffee a refreshing finish.
Roasting and Preparation
The coffee was perfectly roasted, highlighting the nuanced flavors and inherent qualities of the Gesha beans. In a market where Gesha varieties are becoming more common, many roasters fail to treat it with the care it deserves. Seth Taylor's roast, however, is a masterclass in precision and respect for the bean.
The Seth Taylor Gilmer Cordova Gesha was for me, the standout coffee from Leaderboard Coffee Game Season 14. Its perfect roast and complex flavor profile make it a memorable and highly enjoyable experience. This coffee met and exceeded expectations.Cupping Method:Hario v60, 18:1, 196 degrees
