Our Perci Red received a 95 point score from Coffee Review in December 2014!
Blind Assessment:
Impressive balance and completeness, astounding complexity. Sweet, orchid-like flowers, pineapple, strawberry, sweet, orchid-like flowers, crisp roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Plump, juicy acidity; nectar-like mouthfeel. Flavor generalizes around the fruit and floral notes but rings on in a long, deep finish.
Notes:
Produced from trees of the rare Ethiopia-derived botanical variety Gesha (also spelled Geisha). With its elegantly elongated beans and distinctive floral and crisp, often chocolaty cup, the Gesha variety continues to distinguish itself as one of the world’s most unique coffees. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version of the Gesha, 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. This particular Gesha is produced on the Ninety Plus Gesha Estates. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Who Should Drink It: A very light-roasted presentation encourages contemplation of a dried-in-the-fruit green coffee as absolutely pure as it is vibrant and intricate.
