Nicaragua La Bastilla - Geisha - Light Medium Roast
La Bastilla Coffee Estates honey-processed Geisha variety green coffee micro-lot was sourced from Finca La Bastilla, an idyllic farm set atop the high peaks of Nicaragua's Jinotega department. Ripe red coffee cherries were picked from La Bastilla's Geisha micro-farm. The cherries were floated and the skin was removed, but some of the mucilage of the fruit was left intact for the drying stage. The resulting profile offers a sticky sweet, vibrant cup with notes of tropical fruit, stone fruit and a rich mouthfeel.
Geisha is a prized cultivar, which is renowned for its flavor and, often, for its eye-popping price. Originally named Gesha (for the town of Gesha in Ethiopia) the rare coffee is also known as Geisha.
The Notes: Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Tropical Fruit, Vanilla, Honey, Rose, Grapefruit
