Base Coat - Finca Eliza - Green tip Gesha

Roasters note:

Since Choco Vilcamundo's (CVM) inception in 2016, they've already placed in top 10 in Ecuador CoE and Qima auctions multiple times. Just this year they had 7 coffees from their three farms place in the final top 30, which required scores of 87+ to enter. Coffee excellence is rooted in their farming practice. This lot features their traditional fully washed process, which is in-cherry for maximum of 24 hours, then depulped and finally washed.

This coffee is remarkably floral, delicate, and soft. It is easily the best natural expression of florals we've sourced in a green to date. It has strong white and yellow floral aroma. You're greeted with a unique tea profile that feels somewhat like what we imagine a blend of green tea and earl grey tea might taste like; rich black tea flavors but the body and structure of green tea. The starts with a delicate but powerful sweetness that reminds us of honey and comice pear. The body is subtle fruit like melon; we think of honeydew. The finish returns to white florals; our most common references were jasmine and chamomile but we could probably list a number of others on a given day.
