las nubes geisha is a honey-processed gesha from naranjo, costa rica, roasted by elbgold. it earned a cup of excellence distinction, placing it among the highest-scoring lots in its harvest year. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which adds body and sweetness alongside gesha's naturally delicate aromatics. in the cup it shows jasmine, floral character, honey, and honeycomb. brew it with a gentle method that preserves clarity and fragrance, a pour-over or similar filter approach suits it well. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to avoid masking the floral top notes.
