rayo is a washed gesha from colombia, roasted by long & short. the washed process keeps the cup clean and precise, letting the gesha varietal express itself clearly. expect bright citrus across lemon and grapefruit, a crisp zest quality, and floral tones of jasmine running through the finish. because the flavors are delicate and well-defined, this coffee rewards brew methods that highlight clarity and acidity, pour-over being the natural fit. grind fine-medium, use water around 93c, and pour slowly to keep the florals intact.
