Ninety Plus 90+ is not a common cupping score evaluation title; it is actually both a company name and the name of a coffee bean series. In 2004, the green Geisha coffee beans from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama won the championship in the Best of Panama (BOP) competition. Since then, Geisha has repeatedly dominated major competitions, allowing coffee enthusiasts worldwide to discover Geisha, learn about Geisha, and become fascinated by it. Joseph Brodsky was one of them.
At the beginning of the company's founding, 90+ also started merely by selecting high-quality coffee cherries, focusing on processing methods, and meticulously processing the harvested cherries. The representative beans of 90+, Aricha and Beloya, were born at this stage. The experimental results at that time were already quite stunning and caused a considerable sensation in the coffee community.
In 2009, Joseph Brodsky established the 90+ Gesha Estate, Ninety Plus Gesha Estate, in Panama, using local tree species on the estate to provide shade for the Geisha. After the estate officially launched its products in 2014, world brewing championship winners using its Geisha coffee beans became commonplace.
Following Juliet, Front Street brings another Ninety Plus 90+ micro-lot Geisha — Front Street Eleta Geisha Coffee. This Geisha is medium roasted. The medium-roasted Eleta reveals the fresh sweetness of candied pineapple even before grinding. The dry aroma shows notes of pineapple and bergamot, while the wet aroma prominently features white pomelo. On the palate, layers of grape, bergamot, sweet orange, and dried fruit flavors unfold, with a distinct fermented wine aroma in the finish.
