APPLE, BLUEBERRY & ALMOND
This is a proper example of a recession special. A gesha at £26 a kilo! I really didn’t know what to expect with this.
I met with one of our lovely importers last week and was discussing what could we do this month for our special, he suggested this, something that in their eyes has been overlooked as gesha and Brazil aren’t normally a go to combo, I got some in and I’m so impressed. A real sleeper coffee and it just goes to show how it’s easy to overlook something that on paper might not be the origin you normally go for. It’s floral, delicate with a rich honeyed body, all the qualities I’d look for in a gesha. Expect apple, blueberry and a lingering almond and honey body.
To note, this is a gesha and it’s roasted light, I’d recommend filter brews or careful espresso play, best to stay away from milk.
As always with recession specials, limited stock, don’t wait. Cheers, Joel.
THE COFFEE ITSELF - FROM OUR IMPORTER, FALCON SPECIALITY
Located in Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil, Rio Brilhante Café is a specialty coffee farm founded by Inácio Urban. Born from a passion for the land and a constant pursuit of excellence, the farm is now guided by the family's second generation, keeping alive the commitment to producing coffees with quality, consistency, and respect for their origin.
In a region where soils were once considered challenging for agriculture, the combination of technology, research, and hands-on experience made it possible to develop a unique approach to coffee production. This vision gave rise to Constructive Coffee Farming: a model based on the continuous evolution of the production system, building fertility, balance, and value harvest after harvest.
