Tasting Notes: Blueberry Tart, London Fog, Açaí

Sourced from the renowned Gesha Village Coffee Estate in Ethiopia’s Bench Maji zone, this natural lot is a showcase of the variety's genetic birthplace. Founded by Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton, the estate utilizes wild seeds from the neighboring Gori Gesha forest to produce coffees of exceptional clarity and refinement. This specific lot—comprised of Gori Gesha and Gesha 1931 varieties—was dried whole on raised African beds to enhance its berry-like density and aromatic finesse. The result is an elegant and layered cup, featuring a blueberry-tart sweetness and açaí-like depth, balanced by the silky, floral tea tones of a London Fog

A delicate Gesha coffee with refined floral and blueberry notes. Customers said it's "lovely, clean and expressive" with "delightfully delicate florals." However, some found tasting notes underwhelming and subdued. Benefits from patience—"truly begins to sing around week 4." Some noted roastiness and bitter notes requiring adjustment.

Okay but underwhelming vs the tasting notes

Agree with KD's review the tasting notes were not popping at all. Pleasant coffee though and interesting story to the beans.

Delightfully delicate florals

Delightfully delicate florals, though never quite got the depth I was wanting out of it despite multiple brewing methods. Solid 4/5

Hoping this one opens up more

Hoping this one opens up more, but right now the blueberry is subdued. A bit too roasty too imo, has some bitter notes I'm trying to avoid by grinding coarser.

Lovely

Lovely, clean and expressive. First time buying this roaster, but I’ll be back! Shouting out the Eight Ounce team for a great recommendation

Patience Rewarded with Pure Clarity

The blueberry and tea-like notes in this Bench Maji Gesha are incredibly refined and subtle, rather than hitting you over the head. It truly begins to sing around week 4 post roast, where the clarity peaks and that silky, floral finish really opens up.
