We are thrilled to release an experiment where Poma Coffee Research investigated the influence of cross-varietal pollination on the quality of SL28. Specifically, they examined whether the identity of the pollen donor (SL28/self-pollination vs. Geisha/cross-varietal pollination) could impact sensory attributes and chemical composition of the resulting seeds.

Inside the box, you’ll find two versions of the SL28 variety. The first is self-pollinated version (SL28 x SL28) showcasing a typical profile of this variety with pronounced blackcurrant and fruity notes, while the second one is cross-pollinated with geisha (SL28 x Geisha), producing a coffee with more complex aroma profile, with intense floral, citrus and cardamom.
