Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. processed geishaGesha (Geisha)A rare, jasmine-and-bergamot scented variety originally from Ethiopia's Gesha forest, made famous by Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda. Routinely the most expensive coffee at auction.. As we are very impatient, we tasted the very first batch of this coffee a few hours after roasting. It seems to be floral and complex with a beautiful acidy like passionfruit. Then now we are even more impatient to taste it in a week after its rest. We buy from Iris Estate because year after year this farm gets better and better. It is sadly underrated but we believe it is very promising.
