you'll taste grapefruit before tropical fruit. this is colombia las marias salpicon geisha anaerobic natural 168h, an anaerobic colombia from lilo coffee roasters.
expect grapefruit-driven acidity alongside tropical fruit sweetness, a raisin-like richness from the natural process, and a hibiscus floral quality that lingers in the finish. the 168-hour anaerobic fermentation pushes those fruit and floral characteristics to the front of the cup.
this is a geisha variety coffee from colombia, processed as an anaerobic natural with a 168-hour fermentation period, meaning the whole cherries are sealed in a low-oxygen environment for seven days before drying. that extended fermentation develops the pronounced fruit and floral complexity in the final cup.
as a light roast, it responds well to pour-over or aeropress using water around 90-93°c, which preserves the grapefruit acidity and floral notes without extracting bitterness. keep your grind on the medium-fine side to balance the sweetness from the natural process against the coffee's brightness.
