Colombia El Paraiso Geisha Natural
Arrived January 2019. This is a very fairly priced Geisha, especially for its quality. Grown at high 1900 meter elevation this single farm Geisha is a full natural process, meaning the cherry dries on the bean within, imparting fruity flavors in the beverage. Very pronounced aroma which really stood out. Highly fragrant and floral. Big natural with very long finish. Chocolate texture. Price is for a full pound.
