The acidity is rounded and bright, with a juicy, sweet, and lingering finish. | Barista's Notes | At an altitude of 1,300 meters, the Shanmei Tribe in Alishan enjoys a diverse climate characterized by misty mountains, intense sunlight, and significant day-to-night temperature variations. These conditions allow every coffee bean to mature slowly, nourishing them with rich flavors. This fresh batch of green coffee beans is meticulously crafted through a natural process that requires significant labor. Farmers hand-select fully ripened coffee cherries, drying them on high-elevation racks while carefully turning them day and night to precisely control drying and fermentation times. This results in a flavor profile that is complex, sweet, and full-bodied. Unlike the tea-like fragrance of washed process coffees, Alishan natural process beans possess a stronger character. When ground, you will first notice the enchanting, subtle aroma of wine and berries. When sipped, the layers are incredibly rich, featuring notes of white sugarcane, Kyoho grape, honey, black tea, caramel, and concentrated dried fruits, with a finish of refreshing grass and violet. The overall acidity is rounded and bright, with a full body; its aroma, sweetness, and lingering finish are truly exceptional. Taiwanese coffee has reached a very high standard in production and tasting. Today, our farming methods can cultivate specialty coffee that rivals the world’s top production regions—a truly proud achievement! We recommend this to coffee enthusiasts who wish to experience the authentic terroir of Taiwan, or as a thoughtful gift for friends abroad. | Brewing TIPS | These coffee beans are ideal for pour-over, siphon, or AeroPress methods that highlight layered flavor profiles. We suggest using a water temperature around 90°C to fully activate the rich aromatics.
