在九十+的瑰夏庄园里，有一条从农场房屋通向咖啡干燥区的路。在这条路上走的时候，会看到一排异常美丽的曼陀罗。在傍晚时分，这些钟形的花儿散发出迷人的香气令人陶醉，而这种香气也仅仅只能持续一个小时左右。我们戏称这种花香为“夜色美人”。关于曼陀罗还有一个传说。据说有一个巴拿马当地的土著部落会在晚上睡觉时将这种花放在枕头底下来保佑自己免受侵害，他们认为曼陀罗有保护家庭的特殊能量。除了曼陀罗，颠茄、天仙子和曼德拉草也同属于“巫草”类家族，由于这几种植物都被认为具有神秘力量，所以常常被巫师拿来调制有魔力的饮料。曼陀罗是巫师在调配爱情魔药时必不可少的成分，饮下爱情魔药的人可以得到心爱的人，但曼陀罗也常常会被巫师调配成一种会导致人发疯或致死的毒药。有一次我们在感官实验室里做一款咖啡的小量蒸汽化风味评估时，突然闻到了这款咖啡里金银花、橘子、牛奶巧克力和花香的混合味道，这种味道把我们一下子带回到了那个走在长着曼陀罗的路上的傍晚。它柔和且富有女性阴柔气质的味觉让我们久久地沉浸在对曼陀罗花和莎士比亚著作—— 《罗密欧与朱丽叶》悲剧爱情故事的深思中，因此，我们把这款咖啡命名为“朱丽叶咖啡”。

At Ninety Plus Gesha Estates, a road runs from the farm house to our Solkiln/ drying area. Walking this road, one passes by a particularly beautiful row of plants called Datura. In early evening, these bell flowers emit a compelling fragrance that only lasts an hour or so. We have nicknamed these floral beauties “mujer de la noche” meaning “woman of the evening.” Legend has it that the native Gnobe tribe would pick these flowers to place under their pillows as a sleep aid. Datura belongs to the classic plant family of “Witch’s Weeds” along with Deadly Nightshade, Henbane, and Mandrake. Datura was an essential ingredient of love potions and witches’ brews, and has a long history of causing delirium and death. During the particle and vapor stages of evaluation in Sensory Room, we were brought back to that evening walk on the estate by honeysuckle, tangerine zest, milk chocolate, and floral fragrance. Juliette’s delicate, feminine taste profile focused our minds on Datura flowers and on the iconic character from Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
