This washed Geisha was harvested the 24th of May 2024, brought down to Planadas, was pulped immediately and put into blue fermentation tanks with lids for 72 hours. Afterwards it has undergone a mechanical drying process, imitating natural drying. That means the silo was turned on for 8 hours, then the coffee rested for 16 hours, it was turned on again, etc. At a humidity level of 20 %, Jorge stored the coffee in his warehouse for 48 hours to let the water stabilize again and finished the drying process.
We love Jorge’s work as a processor and we always refine processing techniques and times together after different times and temperatures. Mechanical drying gives us the chance to be less dependent of climatic changes. Edward does an amazing job at growing high end coffee cherries so we are sure you'll be happy with this floral and fruity washed Geisha!
V60 Recipe:
This recipe is a great starting point for brewing all of our coffees.
Ratio: 15g coffee to 250g water
Water temperature: 96C
Brew time: approx 2m 30s
Method:
1. Pour 50g water and allow coffee to bloom. 30 seconds.
2. Pour the remaining amount of water in stages:
• 50 grams at a time
• Wait between pours until the water has disappeared just below the surface of coffee grounds.
3. Stop your final pour when you get to your intended yield amount (in this case 250g).
Extra for experts: Try to pour exactly 50g of water in about 10 seconds each time.
