Violet★★★★★
I grind this fine for pour-over and the floral notes open up beautifully—clean, delicate, and worth every penny for a special morning.
Ava★★★★★
Wilder Lazo’s skill really shines in this lot — the cup is incredibly clean with a bright, lingering finish that I haven’t found in other geshas. Brewed a pour-over this morning and the flavors were so distinct I didn’t need anything else.
Evelyn W.★★★★★
The floral aroma hits you right as you open the bag, and the cup is incredibly clean with a silky body. I’ve had a lot of geshas, but this one from Wilder Lazo really stands out for its balance.
Brian★★★★★
Brewed this as a pour-over and the jasmine-like notes hit immediately—it's absurdly clean and sweet, almost like tea. I’ve had a lot of geshas, and this one stands out for how long the finish lingers. A bit pricey, but worth it for a special morning.
Joshua U.★★★★★
Got a bag of this as a gift, and the first sip was like tasting jasmine and honey together. It's lighter than my usual roast but the fruitiness carries through even as it cools—really glad I tried something different.
Andrew★★★★★
Opened the bag and the floral aroma hit me immediately—way more intense than most geshas I’ve tried. Brewed a pour-over and got this clean, almost tea-like body with a sweet finish that lasted for minutes. Definitely worth the splurge for a special weekend morning.
William★★★★☆
The floral aroma really comes through in the cup, almost like jasmine tea, which I wasn’t expecting from a coffee. I did find it a bit pricey for a 10oz bag, but the flavor complexity makes it worth trying once.
Jason★★★★☆
Brewed this as a pour-over and the jasmine-like notes were incredibly distinct without being overpowering. I wish the finish lingered just a bit longer, but the clarity of flavor is something else.
Benjamin★★★★☆
The floral aroma really hits you as soon as you open the bag, and the brew is incredibly smooth with almost no bitterness. I just wish the bag was resealable to keep it fresher longer.
