This Geisha coffee is from Finca 1890, located in the foothills near Carpinteria, California, at 60 meters elevation. The Gesha variety was grown in a distinctive coastal microclimate just 200 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The coffee was selectively hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated to remove defects, then inoculated with Saccharomyces Cerevisiae yeast and fermented for 48 hours. After fermentation, it was washed and dried indoors for 11 days. Flavor notes include marshmallow, strawberry, and Napa.
