A Masterpiece Experience a rare, vibrant cup from a true specialty coffee veteran. Cultivated by Isaac Flores—a producer with over 40 years of unwavering dedication to specialty coffee—this exceptional lot introduces the exciting SL9 varietal to our lineup.
The "Inca Geisha" Heritage Affectionately known as the "Inca Geisha" due to its striking physical and sensory resemblance to the Geisha variety, recent genetic research has unveiled this varietal's true heritage. Unlike SL28 (which is a Bourbon mutation), SL9 traces its roots directly back to the prestigious Ethiopia Legacy group.
Defying Expectations These incredibly hard and dense beans yield a cup that perfectly marries tropical vibrancy with delicate elegance, creating a totally unique and unforgettable coffee experience. It is exceptionally rare to find a coffee that balances such heavy tropical fruit notes with delicate, Geisha-like florality. The SL9 is a beautiful discovery for those looking to explore the cutting edge of coffee genetics and flavor.
The Cup Profile A bright, tropical opening of tart mango effortlessly gives way to vibrant, Geisha-like rose florals. This profoundly complex experience wraps up with a bright, sparkling pineapple brightness in the finish.
