This Kona Geisha Blanc is a single-origin coffee from Noelani Farm in the North Kona district of Hawaii, grown at an altitude of approximately 2,500 feet. Processed using the 'Blanc Washed' method, which involves pulping and fermenting with wine yeasts, this coffee offers a bright and luminous profile. It features fragrant notes of peach, bergamot, and grapefruit zest, with a palate of ripe passionfruit and strawberry. This light roast is characterized by its crystalline acidity and precise, vibrant finish, making it ideal for pour-over or immersion brewing.
