This is a Geisha coffee from Panama, grown at 1550 meters above sea level. The coffee is washed processed and produced by Abu Coffee. It features an intense floral and lemon aroma with flavor notes of lemonbalm, hibiscus, and honeydew melon. The lot was selected during a night cupping session in Panama for its exceptional floral and lemon characteristics.
Special Guests Coffee was founded in 2022 by Paul Ross, a two time UK Barista Champion who took the title in 2019. After stints at Origin Coffee, Kiss the Hippo, and Watch House, Paul launched a boutique roastery focused on rare micro lots, competition level beans, and exclusive varietals in extremely limited supply. The flagship café on Aybrook Street in Marylebone opened in late 2023, featuring two long silver counters: one dedicated to espresso, the other to a pourover brew bar offering 12 single origin coffees as hand brewed filter. The roastery also maintains an archive of carefully frozen coffees, giving standout lots a second chance to shine. A monthly subscription delivers 100g of rare, world class coffee to members.
