An extraordinary coffee, roasted for balance. Some coffees are special because of where they come from. Others because of how they are grown. This Geisha from Finca Jerusalén in the Santa Bárbara mountains of Honduras is special for both reasons. Scoring an impressive 92 points on the Specialty Coffee Association scale, this washed Geisha showcases everything that has made the variety famous among coffee enthusiasts worldwide. Grown at high altitude and carefully processed, it delivers remarkable clarity, elegance and complexity in the cup. Expect delicate floral aromas of jasmine and sugar cane, followed by notes of peach, vanilla, light chocolate and subtle spice. The washed process creates a beautifully clean cup where every flavour can be appreciated without overwhelming the palate. At Amstel Koffie, I roast this exceptional coffee to a carefully developed medium profile. Rather than chasing extreme acidity or heavy roast flavours, my focus is on balance. The result is a cup that highlights the Geisha's famous floral character while maintaining sweetness, body and approachability. This is a coffee to slow down for. One that rewards attention with every sip.
