Roaster Note
This Geisha opens with an aromatic bouquet of wildflowers and red berries, followed by a juicy sweetness reminiscent of fruit candy and ripe cherries. As the cup cools, a silky honey texture emerges, layered with delicate florals and a whisper of citrus zest.
The roast was intentionally kept light to medium-light to highlight the varietal’s signature clarity and the vivid fruit expression brought out by the red honey process. Expect a clean finish with lingering sweetness and elegant floral aftertones — a cup that evolves gracefully with each sip.
Brew it as a pour-over or filter to appreciate its clarity and fragrance, or use single-origin espresso for a candy-like fruit shot with a smooth, syrupy body.
