    This is a pretty awesome cup of coffee!

    There's a lot going on here. Strait's roaster notes are pretty spot on usually, so for a sort of fancy coffee from them, I was surprised to see fairly straightforward roaster notes (red wine, strawberry, cocoa). And those are somewhat unusual to see in a gesha.

    This roast is a pretty unique combo of the clean notes and structure and a gesha, and the a winey/fruit/funky hit at the front of the palate. As always, Strait's notes are on. I would have said strawberry wine, but who drinks that anyway? There's some cocoa in the transition to a very clean, slightly floral gesha finish. It's a coffee with a lot of natural sweetness.

    Straight is a really cool roaster - haven't had a gesha like this one, and this type of bean is pretty hard to shoot the gap balancing bringing the gesha character out, and highlighting the fruit/funk.

    Cupping Method:v60 pourover, 17:1, 93C worked very well.

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Colombia
Colombian coffees are known for their balanced taste, featuring bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity notes, caramel sweetness, and nutty undertones. Colombia's worldwide reputation for producing great coffee at scale is well-deserved. Increasingly some of the best microlot specialty roasts are coming from Colombia thanks to their expertise in cultivation and process.
Bean Source Region: Cauca
Coffee from Cauca is celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profiles. This region's unique microclimates and high altitudes create the perfect conditions for cultivating coffee with vibrant acidity, complex fruit notes, and a smooth, velvety body. Cauca is home to some of the world's most creative and innovative coffee producers. These farmers employ cutting-edge techniques, such as extended fermentation processes and anaerobic processing, to enhance and diversify the flavors of their beans.
