- Recognition: 1st place, Honduras Cup of Excellence (this year's competition)
INTRO
The 1st place lot in this year's Honduras Cup of Excellence, a washed Gesha from Fabio Caballero Jr. Upon first tasting a sample, the roaster was blown away: one of the most expressive and flavourful Geshas they have tried. A very small portion of the lot was set aside before the competition, so the supply is very limited. In the cup: bergamot, jasmine, mango lassi, yellow peach, and mandarin.
THE PRODUCER
Fabio Caballero Jr produced the lot that took 1st place at the Honduras Cup of Excellence. The roaster is incredibly grateful to have secured a small portion of it, set aside before the competition.
THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying. It lets Gesha's floral clarity and expressive fruit come through with precision, which is what the competition-winning cup shows.
THE CUP
Very floral and elegant: bergamot and jasmine lead, with ripe fruit flavours like mango lassi, yellow peach, and mandarin. Very high sweetness, with a soft, coating body and a lingering finish.
