you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is colombia - las brisas gesha, a washed colombia from big dog coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, backed by jasmine and floral tones. the washed process keeps the cup clean, so those bright, lighter notes come through clearly.
it's a gesha varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, more transparent cup.
a pour over or aeropress gives you the control to highlight the delicate floral and citrus character. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to avoid over-extracting the lighter flavors.
