you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is 哥斯達尼加 ivan gutierrez 藝妓日曬(costa rica ivan gutierrez geisha natural), a natural costa rica from moonshine coffee roasters | 私釀咖啡商行 (敦南旗艦店).
expect stone fruit and peach as the leading flavors, a result of the natural process concentrating fruit character during drying. the light roast keeps those fruit notes clean and forward rather than baked or heavy.
this coffee is a geisha variety sourced from ivan gutierrez in costa rica, processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry is dried intact before the bean is extracted. that approach amplifies sweetness and fruit-forward qualities in the cup.
a filter brew method such as pour-over suits this coffee well, as the light roast and natural process both reward slower, more controlled extraction that highlights fruit clarity. avoid very high temperatures, keeping water around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to prevent sharpness.
