it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside peach and stone fruit, with jasmine and floral notes running through the cup. the finish settles into black tea, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond.
it's a geisha variety grown at finca llavecocha in the loja region of ecuador and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit skin before drying to produce a clean, bright cup.
