you'll taste jasmine before honey. this is panama 8 north 82 west - geisha, a honey panama from calico coffee.
it tastes of jasmine, honey, and honeycomb. the honey process adds a natural sweetness that complements the floral character the geisha variety is known for.
it is a geisha variety grown in panama and processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean during drying, adding sweetness and texture to the final cup.
a filter or pour-over method is a good choice for this coffee, as it preserves the delicate jasmine florals and honey sweetness without muting them. use water around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to avoid over-extracting the lighter floral notes.
you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
