you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is geisha lavado – finca maya, lote don abelardo, a washed panama from pulpa specialty coffee - roastery & coffee lab.
it tastes of lemon, grapefruit and citrus zest, with jasmine and broader floral qualities running through the cup. the washed process keeps everything clean and well-defined, so those citrus and floral notes come across clearly without interference from fruit-fermentation character.
it is a geisha variety grown at finca maya, lote don abelardo in boquete, panama, and processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit skin and pulp are removed before the beans are dried. this results in a cleaner, brighter cup that highlights the variety's natural acidity and floral character.
a filter method such as pour-over or aeropress works well, as it lets the clean, precise character of a washed geisha come through without adding body that might mask the lemon, grapefruit and jasmine notes. keep brew water slightly below boiling, around 90 to 92°c, to avoid flattening the floral aromatics.
