Picolot #3: River Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy - Altieri Alessa Gesha Riverflow Natural [Drop #1]

Floral forward, lavender, plum, prune, expressive acidity presentation!

If you enjoyed Picolot #000 this release will be perfect for you! This coffee is fruity and expressive with tons of intensity and loud notes. We find this coffee has a floral forward presentation, dynamic acidity, with a really long and sweet finish. When cooled, the acidity becomes significantly more structured with a tart plum note and the acidity is sparkly. The linger is long, sweet, and clean making this a great example of a well processed expressive natural gesha! 

BQ Notes: Treat this one like Pico #000. Tastes like a loud Natural Panama Gesha + Sprite (lol) AKA Mountain Dew at home. Just pour water on it to get good results!

From Altieri: The coffee was harvested April 10th, 2025. It was then transported to our facilities in Alto Lino the next morning, where it underwent flotation to separate low-density cherries. Then the cherries are placed in grain pro bags and these are submerged in cold water from the river for 5 days to complete the fermentation process.. The coffee then underwent a drying stage in the drying room at a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity for 30 days.

Roasting/Resting details:

Roasted on a Stronghold S7X by Jiyoon! We aim for a transparent presentation of the coffee and would love to hear any feedback on the roasts. We recommend you rest for at least 2-3 weeks before brewing.
