Cupped by our partner IHCAFE
Cupping verifies, it doesn’t define. The engine’s chemistry-based prediction stands on its own; IHCAFE’s cupping confirms it at the table.
El Caminito Geisha Honey leads with acidity and flavor for a pronounced, expressive profile. Expect a quieter mouthfeel presence.
Leonela Vanessa Madrid farms El Caminito at 1550 m in Santa Bárbara, Honduras.
NIR-derived indices · EGGSTONE engine
Predicted sensory axes · 0–10
Rich organic and malic acids point to bright, lively acidity that comes alive in light-to-medium roasts.
Restrained aromatics. Let clarity, not perfume, lead the profile.
Clean, well-defined flavor potential. Focus the roast around the cup’s own character.
Sugars are well developed, so sweetness arrives without pushing the roast.
A light mouthfeel. Position it as transparency, strongest in filter.

Roasting directions from this lot's chemistry · percentiles against this auction
- 01Bright, fresh acidity: organic acids
Organic acids rank among the highest in this auction. The acids retained after roasting contribute brightness, fresh fruit-like acidity and balance. Design the profile to preserve this acid character.
Data rationale Organic acids 99th percentile · Citric acid 76th percentile · Acidity potential 82nd percentile
- 02Sugar-driven sweetness supports the acidity: sucrose and monosaccharides
In this honey-processed lot, sucrose supports caramel-like sweetness, while monosaccharides contribute toasted notes, deeper sweetness and browned-sugar flavors. Aim for sweetness that follows naturally behind the acidity.
Data rationale Monosaccharides 98th percentile · Glucose 95th percentile · Sucrose 92nd percentile
- 03Fruit and malt complexity: diterpenes
Abundant diterpenes are associated in this analysis with fruit and malt notes formed during thermal breakdown, adding layers to this Geisha's flavor profile.
Data rationale Diterpenes 89th percentile · Flavor potential 91st percentile
- 04Tea-like clarity and a clean finish
Low lipid levels point toward a light, tea-like mouthfeel, while low caffeine supports a finish with less bitterness. Keep the delicate floral notes unobscured; if more weight is needed, adjust brew strength.
Data rationale Lipids 3rd percentile · Caffeine 7th percentile
Percentiles rank this lot against the other lots in this auction; Taste Potential values are percentile rankings, not cupping scores. These are directions suggested by the data. Design and validate the actual profile on your roaster, for your target cup.
