Edinson Argote Advanced Natural Geisha
My Friend's CoffeeLychee Candy, Hibiscus, Pomegranate Juice, Cranberry,
This lot was selected for peak ripeness at Edinson Argote's Huila farm, Quebraditas. It's the type of brew troubadours write songs about—not good songs, but hey, when was the last time you penned a coffee tune? Get off your high horse.
The Advanced Natural method here is a fastidiously managed natural protocol, executed in small batches, with yeast applications and precise temperature control throughout. No one does it better than Edinson, a fact that this cup proves beyond reasonable doubt.
The fragrance on this guy! The wet aroma is a candy carnival. Even the dry fragrance could launch a thousand ships. It's a perfect overture, because the flavors are downright showstopping.
Lychee sugars stand out immediately. Ditto for some telltale fruity vibes, which marry beautifully with a dash of pomegranate juice and wisps of hibiscus. The florals appear in a tea-like fashion, an unexpected ballast to the lychee's syrupy heft. Then there's the cranberry, another dose of bracing tannic goodness, which rides shotgun beside the pomegranate.
This cup busts flavor boundaries and transports you to non-conceptual realms. One sip, and it's possible you'll forget your name, forget your whereabouts, forget your carbon-based makeup altogether, and exist, if only for a moment, as joy itself. (This is the most hyperbolic piece of marketing in human history... hope you enjoy it as much as you do the coffee).
