I've recently had the pleasure of drinking some Esmeralda Leon from
Klatch Coffee. From their website, the growers separated this lot due to its "multi-layered and complex" flavor, which is validated by a 96 score (highest I've seen) from
Coffee Review (great website btw). Hit the jump to see how I feel about it!

From the label, the coffee has "Jasmine, peach and pink grapefruit hit you on the nose, and carry into a cup with a bright, tropical rose flavored tea...". Even from the grounds, I could smell the floral tones (much more notable than other coffees) with a hint of cocoa. Taste-wise, it's one of the most unique coffees I've had. The rose flavored tea sounded dubious, but boy was I surprised. There was an amazing amount of complexity between the tea, fruity notes, and a subtle but smooth sweetness. Definitely, one of my favorites! Too bad it's limited time and expensive! I found that, true to my rule for paper filter vs Kone, this coffee tasted much better with paper filter.
