A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: GeshaGesha (Geisha)A rare, jasmine-and-bergamot scented variety originally from Ethiopia's Gesha forest, made famous by Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda.

Producer: Pepe Jijon Elevation: 1515 masl Process: Wave WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. CF 'Wave' is referencing a temperature wave, going from higher temperature to lower temperature, utilizing fermentation tanks and refrigerators, in a sustained way that keeps the embryo alive. Gesha Wave has gone through a 3-day cherry fermentation and then mosto juice from previous fermentations is added on during the last 2 days when the pH has gone down ‘naturally’. Essentially, in the coffee world, mosto is the result of the fermentation of clean, freshly picked ripe cherries in a medium with a low incidence of oxygen.
