Brewed this as a cold brew and the orange marmalade notes came through so brightly, it tasted like a summer morning. The texture is incredibly smooth for a washed Gesha, no bitterness at all. I’m already planning my next order.
Even with a V60 pour over, the apricot and caramel notes came through beautifully without any bitterness. This is the cleanest coffee I’ve brewed at home in months.
The washed process really lets the bright orange marmalade flavor shine without any muddiness. Brewing it as a pour-over filled my kitchen with an incredible floral aroma.
The peach note really comes through clearly in the first sip, and it’s noticeably cleaner than most washed coffees I’ve tried. I just wish the bag had a bit more detail on the roast date.
I was excited to try a Cup of Excellence winner, and the peach notes are definitely there, but I found the brew a bit thin for my taste. It’s a clean cup, just not as rich as I’d hoped for the price.
