Story: This is the fresh 2020 crop of an amazing natural processed gesha produced by the superstar of coffee producers Graciano Cruz. This gesha has grown at 2000msl under the shade of bamboo trees in a unique micro-climate getting wind and rain from both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, slowly maturing on the side of the Baru volcano outside Boquete, Panama.

“I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS COFFEE! I’VE KNOWN GRACIANO AND HIS FAMILY AND HAVE BEEN BUYING THEIR COFFEE SINCE I VISITED THEM IN PANAMA BACK IN 2013.⠀
After harvest the coffee goes straight to the processing station located at 1800 meters above sea level.

I remember how while we were climbing up the mountain, Graciano was always full of anecdotes about how the farm and the coffee has developed since they started the growing coffee there in 1992. ⠀

This gesha is one of @graciano.cruz latest marvels. As usual, he is at the forefront of exploring new techniques and has been able to unlock a hugely exciting world of flavors in this coffee.

Story: ﻿Inspired by the words “lychee” and “cello”, Lycello was the first taste profile created at Ninety Plus Gesha Estates in Panama.

Lycello Batch 5 of 2014 was the first of 5 Ninety Plus coffees used to win the World Brewer’s Cup Championship (5 World Championships in the last 6 years).

Hey! Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it. Oskar from Standout

Story

One big challenge a coffee has is to taste as good as the aroma is. This issue is very true when it comes to coffees that are slightly darker, you open the bag, either it's a pre ground from the grocery store, or you just ground your beans at home, the aroma is usually very good! Then when you brew the coffee the bad flavors, burnt tastes and bitter notes shine trough.

When it comes to the supercharged, super-experimental processed award-winning hyped coffee Kambera from Ninety Plus it follows the above mentioned statement but in the other order. The flavor is all over the place, is it good or bad, that's up to you to experience, one thing that I and many others can relate to it's super intense, like a cherry liquor infused balloon that just popped right under your nose.

When you brew it lives up to the hype of winning world championships year after year. The taste palette of this coffee is so intense, complex and wonderful with dark chocolate, maraschino cherry and plum all over the place.
