Bella Vista - Geisha - Guatemala

bella vista is a gesha varietal from the antigua region of guatemala, processed using the washed method. washed processing strips the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup that highlights the bean's inherent character. in the cup, expect caramel sweetness. gesha is a delicate, low-yielding varietal that rewards careful brewing, so dial in your water temperature around 90-93°c and avoid over-extraction. pour-over or filter methods generally suit washed gesha well, giving the clarity needed to appreciate the subtler caramel notes without muddying them.
