Costa Rica Corazón de Jesús Gesha

Tasting notes: strawberry, lavender

In a world where co-ferments and wacky processing have almost occluded the coffees that used to excite us, this exceptional lot is a time machine back to the style of Gesha that was a game changer 15 to 20 years ago. This is the Platonic ideal of what a Gesha can and should be.
