you'll taste tropical fruit before jasmine. this is colombia immaculada gesha natural, a honey colombia from bean & bean queens — roastery & cafe.
this coffee lands on tropical fruit, jasmine, and floral aromatics up front, with honey, honeycomb, and sugar cane rounding out the sweetness. the honey process adds body and a syrupy quality that complements the gesha varietal's delicate floral character.
the coffee is a gesha varietal grown in the cauca region of colombia and processed using the honey method, meaning the skin is removed but some of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean during drying. this contributes to its pronounced sweetness and fuller body compared to a washed coffee.
as a light roast, this coffee does well with brew methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress using water around 88-92°c. avoid aggressive extraction, since the gesha varietal and honey process are best expressed with a measured, gentle approach.
