this is an unroasted green coffee from hacienda la esmeralda's private collection, grown in boquete, panama. the gesha varietal is processed using the washed method, which strips away the fruit before drying and tends to produce clean, clearly defined flavour. expect bright citrus across lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, with jasmine and broader floral character underneath. because this arrives green, you control the roast entirely. a light roast will keep the floral and citrus notes intact. pour-over or filter brewing suits the delicate structure of washed gesha well, allowing the aromatics to express fully without the pressure of espresso flattening them.
