la candelilla gesha is a single-origin coffee from the naranjo region of costa rica, roasted by sk coffee. gesha is a distinct varietal known for delicate, tea-like character, and here it is processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry dries around the bean. that natural process amplifies fruit expression, lending the red apple note listed in the tasting profile a clean, crisp quality. to get the best from it, use a filter method such as pour over or aeropress, which preserves the clarity and lighter fruit-forward qualities typical of a naturally processed gesha. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind.
