calliandra is a washed colombian gesha roasted by origin coffee on charlotte road. gesha is a variety known for its pronounced floral character, and the washed process keeps the cup clean and transparent, letting those aromatics come through clearly. expect jasmine and broader floral tones alongside cedar, which adds a dry, woody depth. because the profile is delicate, brewing methods that offer control over temperature and extraction, such as filter or pour-over, will serve it best. keep water around 90-93°c and avoid over-extraction to preserve the lighter floral notes.
