I drank this as part of Leaderboard Season 13 (coffee #9 out of 10).
I liked this coffee a lot. It's quite clean but has a lot going on, as the best Sidras are. It's my first Ecuadorian Sidra, and I think it expresses itself similar to the Colombian ones I've had.
For me it starts off with a bit of strawberry and black tea. It has some lemon/tangerine in the background, and is a touch herbal and a touch floralCupping Method:Pourover v60, 18:1 ratio. Came out really well at 199 degrees.

Somewhat small, irregular beans. Very fruity with almond at the beginning, the strawberry, starfruit, and tropical acidity. Maybe a bit of peach. Tilting towards the fruity/acidic side but many will like. Got some bergamot on the second cupping.
Quite good!Cupping Method:Chemex than Hario v60, Leaderboard Season 12, Coffee #7

Delicate and smooth coffee on the nose and sip. The aroma is a bit muted. I contemplated giving this a 3.5 instead of 4 on the aroma, mainly because I expect so much more out of Gesha's. I was really looking for more floral and jasmine notes. I just think this could've been great, but wasn't quite.
Now, I could drink this coffee every day if I wanted to, because of the balance and acidity.
I'll also note that Sey brewed this via Aeropress at their brooklyn location/roastery. I'm not a big fan of Aeropress brewing and am sure that a nice v60 would've produced more of the floral notes.
Notes:
- Mild Jasmine
- Very mild Honeysuckle
- Quite a bit of caramel sweetness (as it cooled after about 3-4 mins)Cupping Method:Aeropress brewed at Sey location in Brooklyn.
