The GRAVITY FILTER COFFEE TASTING SET from Kaffa Roastery lets you compare three completely different coffees. Each one offers a different origin, variety, and processing method, so you can compare a sweeter, fruity co-fermented coffee, a cleaner washed profile, and a more distinctive anaerobically natural coffee side by side. The set includes 3×100 g of coffee. The set is therefore great not only for indecisive coffee lovers who’d love to try absolutely everything, but it’s also ideal for home cupping.
The first coffee is Colombia Berry Velvet from producer Brayan Alvear at the Las Palmas farm in Huila. The Caturra and Pink Bourbon varieties underwent honey co-fermentation and deliver notes of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, muffins, and milk caramel in the cup. The profile is thus characterized by pronounced fruitiness, sweetness, and a creamier, dessert-like character.
The second part of the set is Costa Rica Humming Bird from producer Mario Molina Salas at the Café de Altura San Ramón farm. This blend of Bourbon, Pacas, and Catimor varieties underwent yeast-washed processing, which brings out a cleaner and more floral profile. On the palate, you’ll find hibiscus, cherry, acacia honey, elderflower, and chocolate. This coffee also scored 87 points, but compared to the Colombian sample, it offers a lighter and more floral character.
The third part of the set is the Ethiopia Gesha Karmachi from the Bench-Maji region. The coffee comes from producer Kebir and the Karmachi Gesha Farm, where the Gesha variety is grown. The coffee underwent a 72-hour anaerobic natural processing, and with a score of 88 points, it is the highest-rated of the three. The flavor profile features passion fruit, apple cider, lemongrass, and white grapes. Alongside the previous two samples, it showcases yet another distinctly different expression of filter coffee and the influence of more intense fermentation.
