Guiben Honey - Brew Chart & Impressions
One of our best selling coffee from Yunnan is back!
The Guiben Honey was always one of our favorite, and we finally have some more bags to share with you!
This year's harvest is very sweet, complex and slightly tropical.
The mango notes hit your palate immediately. On espresso and longer filter brew, the mango impressions are very sweet, and on faster methods like flat bottom, we had hints of the less known green mango that is less sweet and more acidic.
The pistachio and pine nut impressions really make this coffee complex and interesting, as sweet and tropical coffee usually aren't nutty.
The acidity also reminded us of clementine, and the sweetness feels like biting in fresh cane sugar.
A truly wonderful coffee!
