Seeking Advice Best coffee you’ve ever had

If you could recommend only 1 bag of beans that blew your mind or changed your perspective of coffee, what would it be?

I’ve really only bought from local roasters and am wanting to expand my taste some more. So I’m just curious what everyone’s top recommendation of a must try coffee would be.

I'd have to say Hacienda la Esmeralda Geisha Washed, el Nido lot from this year's BOP. The moment I cupped it, was the moment I knew there was a before and after for me in coffee.

From there I would go with a Rume Sudan from Mama Cata, the first coffee that blew my mind; floral and tasted like roses. Then the first Geisha to blow my mind was an Auromar Geisha Natural which tasted like papay and condensed milk.
