this coffee is grown in colombia by producer yilver pajoy and uses the washed process, meaning the cherry's fruit is removed before the beans are dried, resulting in a cleaner, more transparent cup. the gesha varietal is the cultivar used.
washed geshas generally perform well on filter or pour over brewers, where the clean, delicate character of the varietal can be appreciated without added body from immersion methods. use water around 90-93°c and dial in your grind carefully, as gesha can taste thin if under-extracted.
