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.

Learn a bit more about Jesus Galeas, and his Gesha which we're super excited to have on our shelf💚

Our first December coffee release is here!🌟

#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.

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.

Was able to smell and cup a glo-ri-ous mixed Gesha + Bourbon lot from Peru by German Carranza today, super clean lime peel oil in dark sugar, very sweet, good sourness to balance it, with a tiny bit of green herbal notes. Mojito in one word 😂.
And all this even though my current cold steals most of my taste and smell — this stuff was intense enough to come through!
Really looking forward to a production roast!
