Barista Bitch Dialing In

Floral (dandelion tea?), green peach, chocolate and cranberry.

Roasted 04-01-24 Geisha  Natural  "The Lamastus family have been growing coffee in the Boquete region of Panama for over 100 years and have won the Best of Panama competition five times with their Geisha. Wilford Lamastus and his son, Wilford Jr., manage the family's three farms high up in the cloudy rainforest of the Boquete region, on the edge of the Volcan Baru National Park. Elida Estate was their first farm to be planted with Geisha back in 2005, and they have been producing some of the best Geisha in the world ever since. In 2018 and 2019, Geisha from Elida won both the washed and the natural categories in the Best of Panama competition, something never seen before! This Geisha was processed using the traditional natural method and packed with delicious fruit notes." Tropical fruit, mango, black currant and lemongrass. Proud Mary sure does love Panamian coffees so much that I struggle to keep them straight. This one was very good, definitely not worth the price, but...

 Earthy, Black Tea and Spice.

 Pomegranate, wine and cola. 

Roasted 03-20-24 Geisha Washed Juicy, Oroblonco, jasmine tea and lingering aftertaste.  Very refreshing. 

Blended with Honduras, Columbia Fruit Germent and India  Floral, red fruit, chocolate milk, orange and wine like complexity.

Roasted 03-20-24 Sidama Bensa  74165 Varietal Natural Process "It has an elegant floral quality reminiscent of lavender and a juicy sweetness like ripe blueberries. As it cools down, a tangy texture emerges, changing to a pleasant sweetness like freshly made grape jam. Enjoy this gentle, sweet and gorgeous Ethiopian Natural." Lavender, blueberry and grape jam.  An all around fruity coffee, not quite a fruit bombe, it is a little to clean and refined whereas fruit bombes for me are very big and lack staying power. 

Mango, BlackBerry, cherry and cocoa nibs. I am finally uploading some of my notes from last year where I didn't post. I can't remember much and unfortunately Luminous's website doesn't archive their old coffees which I imagine would be a fainting challenge seeing as how many different coffees they have throughout the year. 

Roasted 03-20-24 Catimor P4 (7963) Varietal Yeast Fermentation Natural Process "The latest Dehong Yeast Fermentation, which was very well received when we collaborated with MOUTAIN MOVER at last year's SCAJ 2023, has arrived! The quality improvement of Yunnan coffee in recent years has continued to evolve at a dizzying pace. It is even sweeter and juicier than last year. As for the roasting of Oubaitouli, we focus on the 'change against temperature'. We set our roasting concept by focusing on the flavor that gradually brightens after it cools down. At first glance, the flavor is mild, but as it cools down, the flavor opens up, and we adjusted it so that you can feel the colorful flavors and enjoy it in a gorgeous way until the last sip when you finish drinking it slowly." Peach, Rose, Tea like astringency and Lychee sweetness. 

 Orange, Sour Green Apple, Cloves and complex.
