Gerba is a real powerhouse in the fruit-flavor department, promising a bouquet of berry and other fruit-floral highlights at the lighter end of our recommended roast range that give off a complex aromatic quality in the cup. It's a coffee you want to sip and sit with in order to take in the wide range of fruit flavors. I roasted as dark as Full City, which while it taps into more bittersweetness than I prefer for a profile like this, it still drew out cooked berry notes that married well with the opaque, and somewhat smokey, chocolate bittersweets. At City roast level, the ground coffee shows a complex profile of strawberry dipped in chocolate, with an array of dehydrated fruit notes, accents of rustic sweeteners. The wet aroma at City roast level shows a floral aroma that augments the fruit-forward smells nicely. Fruit jam, strawberry reduction, and berry maple syrup, all pile onto the impressive smelling brew. The cup displays a really wild aromatic profile from the outset, with a flowery overlay that brings out a sort of ripeness in the fruit flavors. Notes of blueberry, ripe strawberry, yellow cherry, and aromatic rue come through, shadowed by a softer cocoa hint that adds a rustic hint to the profile. I found the acidity to be well-integrated into the cup flavors, supportive, but in no way intrusive.
