]]> This coffee tied for the highest rating in a cupping of coffees from Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador for Coffee Review’s March 2019 tasting report. Produced by the Rodriguez family of Finca Alasitas entirely from the trees of the celebrated Geisha (also spelled Gesha) variety of Arabica. This sample consists entirely of peaberries, a kind of bean that results when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different (often better) cup than normal beans from the same crop, from which they may or may not be separated during grading. This is a dry-processed or “natural” coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Self-taught roaster Sean Tung is interested in bringing medium-roast coffee with depth and balance to his customer at Sucré Beans, a roastery and café in Taipei.

]]> Finca La Linda is a farm operated by the innovative Bolivia specialty coffee producer Agricafe. This is a honey-processed coffee, which means that the outer skin is removed as it is in the wet or “washed” process, but at least some of the sticky fruit residue is allowed to dry on the bean and is later removed by machine along with the parchment skin. Java refers, not to the Indonesian island, but to a variety of Arabica associated with the island and now planted on Finca La Linda in Bolivia.
