this is a geisha varietal from panama, processed anaerobically and roasted by r ki coffee lab. the anaerobic environment during processing amplifies the aromatic compounds in the bean, which shows in the cup as jasmine, floral aromatics, honey, and honeycomb. the sweetness is delicate rather than heavy, making it a good candidate for brew methods that highlight clarity and fragrance. pour-over works well here, using water around 90-93°c to keep the floral and sweet notes intact without pushing bitterness. grind slightly coarser than you might for a standard washed coffee to give the more complex sugars room to come through cleanly.
