Ciocces - Coffea Diversa x Finca Gascón

There are coffees that impress, and then there are coffees that make us genuinely excited. This Ciocces is firmly in the second category.
Originally collected from the forests of Ethiopia's Jimma region and preserved by Coffea Diversa, Cioccies is one of the rarest coffee varieties we have ever had the opportunity to share. Producing only tiny quantities each year, it exists not because it is productive or commercially practical, but because it represents a unique piece of coffee's genetic heritage. The plant itself is striking: tall-growing, with widely spaced branches and nodes, carrying only modest yields compared to modern commercial cultivars. It is a variety maintained for its singular character rather than its agricultural performance. And honestly, we're super psyched about it. Not only because it is exceptionally rare, but because it is an absolute gem in the cup.
Expect vibrant stone fruit, ripe peach and delicate florals that remain present from hot to cool. A light honey-like sweetness runs through every sip, supported by an incredibly silky and pristine mouthfeel of. The acidity opens with a bright citric character before gradually revealing a more tartaric quality like white grapes as the cup cools, adding structure and depth without ever disturbing its remarkable elegance.
What makes this coffee so captivating is that it refuses to fit neatly into any familiar category. At times, it hints at the refined florals and clarity of a great Gesha, yet its sweetness feels deeper and more layered. At other moments, it evokes the vibrant character of an exceptional washed Ethiopian coffee, but with a level of complexity and sophistication that is difficult to generalize. There is something wonderfully untamed about it, do not expect something loud or crazy, just a terroir profile at its finest.
Coffees like this remind us why we fell in love with coffee in the first place. No matter how much we taste, there are always new expressions, forgotten varieties, and unexpected experiences waiting to be discovered. Cioccies is one of those rare coffees that sparks a sense of curiosity and fascination, showing just how much there still is to explore within the world of coffee.
I always tent to compare this kind of fascination to people who collect stamps. Nobody who doesnt themselves will understand. The ones who do though could talk about it forever. Having said that, please enjoy guys. We are in complete awe.

We recommend allowing the beans to rest for at least 14 daysto 21 days from the roast date to reach peak flavor. 

We recommend a coarser grind and a ratio between 1:16 to 1:17. Aim for lower extraction to highlight the floral qualities of this coffee.

We recommend percolating brewing and lower temperature during the last pour.
