this is a washed gesha from hacienda la esmeralda's special collection, grown in boquete, panama, one of the most referenced origins for the gesha varietal. the washed process strips away the fruit layer before drying, which tends to emphasize clarity and floral character over fermented sweetness. the montaña 6fb designation points to a specific plot and harvest lot within the estate. because the roast level and tasting notes were not supplied, dialing in grind size and water temperature carefully, starting around 93°c, will help surface the clean, delicate qualities washed gesha is known for. filter brewing, such as pour-over, is generally well-suited to this style.
