ALMOST MEDIUM ROAST

10oz. whole bean coffee

Washed Process

Selva Negra has owned a small section of land called San Felipe for a while, it's at the highest altitude on the farm but due to its steep slope and slight separation from the other lots, it was never farmed. 8 years ago, Mausi (owner of Selva Negra) was able to get her hands on a few Geisha beans. After they were able to plant these and then get a few harvests, they had enough seeds to plant about 500 trees on the highest altitude section of San Felipe.

Geisha is an Ethiopian variety of coffee, brought to Central America over the last 15-20 years. A very unique coffee that adopts some attributes from the country of origin but is always known for its more floral versus tea like spice attributes normally seen in coffees like an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Often a very expensive variety because it produces low yields and is susceptible to many plant diseases, this Geisha is relatively inexpensive due to a favorable relationship with the farm and importer.

Flavor
Very floral, delicate and sweet with a citrus-like acidity. Hints of black tea, banana and peach. Syrupy sweetness with honeysuckle accents. A bit of dark chocolate as the cup cools.
