Persimmon, Candied Orange, Honey
$30
This Geisha varietal lot was grown by Jesus Ureña Hidalgo at his farm, La Bandera, in the El Congo district high above Santa María de Dota. It was honey-processed by the team at COOPEDOTA, which has been actively promoting exotic varieties like Geisha and helping us separate and source them from individual farms for the past eight seasons.
Our third Geisha offering from Costa Rica beautifully illustrates the sweetness that is inherent in this varietal, with a slight zest of candied orange peel to round it out.
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
