It is my pleasure that Until Coffee invited me to have cupping (not cupping literally, pourover actually haha) the extremely limited lot of Panama Gesha. The green beans are worth more than $44,000HKD (~$5,500USD) /kg before any other costs. Until Coffee got 100g of it. I could have 1 of the 5 shots. The beans were hand-picked. They were then processed by natural fermentation. The beans were dried under the sun at max. temperature of 30 degree celsius and it was followed by dehumidification in a 60% moisture control room until the water content reaching as low as 16%. At the final stage, the beans were stored in the 24 degree celsius and 55% temperature & moisture control room for 2 months.
I had a lot of cups of "Gesha". But not many really grabbed me. This one was among the few "Gesha". At 1st sip, it didn't taste really outstanding. The taste notes were quite similar to the specialty coffee you could find in Hong Kong nowadays. However, I realized that the combined experience of the taste notes, mouthfeel and the thickness of this Gesha was in fact quite unique. The taste was like green grape, white peach, a little bit of floral and mint notes. The taste notes were blended together so smoothly and nicely that though each taste note was not so distinct on its own the combined flavour was just so mellow and enjoyable. The thickness is optimally thick. The overall experience was like sitting on rooftop of a house, enjoy the view of boundless vineyard and have a cup of fine wine. Unfortunately, we are still in pandemic. We, as Hong Kongers, are not able to have this fine cup of Gesha in a great vineyard.
Pearl of Until Coffee brewed the coffee for me. It is interesting that she started 2nd pour only 20s after 1st pour of 40g water at the blooming stage. She said she did 3.5 pour for my cup. I didn't ask what 0.5 pour actually was. But the cup was nonetheless great.
