Cafe&Factory - Guatemala Geisha
Tried buying the beans in a local #coffee chain. The reason - I learned they've #Gesha variety that's unusual for a non-3rd-wave coffee-shop, and decided to give it a shot. 100g was ~ 11 eur.
Well, I'm not delighted. It's good, but that's it. It's sweet and buttery, full-bodied, with only a subtle hint of varietal notes of strawberries and flowers.

Did a side by side, the wet processed has those delicate floral notes that geshas are known for, I feel like I'll enjoy it more once my nose isn't stuffy. The dry processed definitely has more body, I might even say better balance, definitely fruity, but fwiw I don't detect fruit loops like they mention on the tasting notes 
Both very enjoyable, I think I like the dry processed better overall! I don't get gesha coffee very often, it's more expensive without being objectively better, just different in a kinda fun way, so it's fun to remind myself every now and then what it's about. Tasting the difference with processing methods is also *super cool*.
Roasting coffee again, this one I'm really excited about: this is a gesha variety from the same crop in Peru, one batch dry (also called natural) processed and the other wet (washed) processed. I tried roasting them about the same (as close to City as I can with my clunky drum roaster), so the main difference will be in how they were processed.
See alt text for my initial take on how well I roasted the two batches. They need to rest and degas before I can brew them and do a side by side tasting.

I went to Boquete, Panama to see if the world-famous Gesha coffee actually lives up to the $30,000-per-bag hype. ☕️🏔️ Also sharing a look inside Agaseke Lodge and the best spots in town.

#Gesha | Natural
As you may know, we already have Jesus' Typica on the shelf, and it's a coffee we really love. So naturally we HAD to try his Gesha. We tasted it first when Wilts from Semilla hosted a cupping at our cafe earlier this year. And what can I say, tears of joy have been shed at that cupping table. The taste profile is really unique, elegant and sweet. (1/6)

It's not the best Gesha I've tried. It lacks its signature aroma of white flowers and is more fruity instead.Overall, Bolivian coffee just isn't to my taste.
Origin: 🇧🇴 Bolivia, Caranavi
Producer: Finca La Llama, Los Rodríguez
Varieties: Gesha
Process: Coco natural
Harvest: 2023
The #SpecialityCoffee boom in #Osaka is getting out of control. In Chuo ward you can't throw a bag of ethically sourced small-lot #Gesha beans without hitting a #coffee roaster or a specialty coffee shop.
I worry it's unsustainable. Much as people like good coffee there's no way all these places can attract enough traffic to pay the bills.
