Notes

Sourced from Ikore Kofi, a specialty roaster founded in Valencia, Spain in 2014. This honey-processed Geisha is from El Puchol in Bajo Zapote, in the Naranjo canton of Costa Rica’s West Valley (Valle Occidental), grown at 1,500 MASL. SCA score +87, the highest of the Ikore Kofi lots in this collection.

Expect a floral, layered cup. Jasmine on the nose, stone fruit and raisin through the body, and vanilla with brown sugar underneath. Lime adds a bright lift at the finish. The honey process keeps some of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean, which brings the raisin-and-sugar sweetness and rounds out the Geisha’s florals.

Brewed as a Light-Medium honey at a constant 95°C with a 1:2.5 / 40s bloom, based on Phil & Sebastian’s honey-processed Costa Rica, Smooth Operator. The temperature is in the upper part of the Light-Medium range because 1,500 MASL is the Strictly Hard Bean threshold. It stops short of 96°C to protect the jasmine, given that Ikore Kofi roasts have tended to extract darker than their label suggests.
