it cups with grapefruit brightness, stone fruit sweetness, and a hibiscus floral quality. the washed process keeps things clean and transparent, letting those characteristics come through without interference.
it is a gesha varietal grown at elida estate in boquete, panama, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying to produce a clear, well-defined cup.
