(First a shout-out to my friend Joey for reminding me of sideline oranges.)
Growing up I loved youth soccer games, but legitimately for all the wrong reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I loved scoring a goal just as much as the next youngling or thinking I was insanely cool by hitting a header (even though most of them were face smashes truthfully), but really what I was after were orange slices and a Capri Sun on the sidelines.
There’s no research on this, but I’m absolutely convinced that orange slices with Capri Sun are the ultimate sports (or even life?) enhancement combo (even more so than All-Sport and that’s saying something). Some would say it’s from the sheer sugar, but BOTZ would like to argue that it was the elegant flavor combination of fresh citrus perfectly paired with liquid tropical blast. After snarfing an orange and chugging a Capri Sun, it was only a matter of moments before I reentered the game and immediately bent it like Beckham for an upper-90 goal (okay I wasn’t that good but it felt that way on that flavor combo high). If only such a flavor combination existed in coffee and could similarly enhance a person’s abilities to tackle life’s challenges...Luckily for you, gesha-boy never sleeps (literally because of the coffee consumption).
Jorge Rojas’s gesha lot is being released just as Francy Castillo’s gesha lot has sold out. Despite both coffees being washed, their cup characteristics differ. While Francy Castillo’s coffee is centered around stone fruits like apricot and peaches, Jorge’s coffee leads with an elegant candied citrus and finishes with delicate tropical fruits. With an aroma reminiscent of candied tangerines, a touch of papaya sweetness, and a milky tea-like finish, BOTZ couldn’t resist offering Jorge Rojas’s gesha lot so you, too, could feel “liquid cool” each morning.
