Degassing: We recommend degassing this coffee for at least 35 days, up to 70. Our coffees often peak around 45 days and 60 days post-roast and are best enjoyed from then until the 90 day mark. Our omniroast style leads to abnormally long degassing times, but just trust us, once your coffee is degassed properly, you're in for a treat.

From APOLLON'S GOLD
We are incredibly excited to bring back a Geisha from Café Granja La Esperanza (CGLE) for the first time in two years!
While CGLE is globally renowned for their innovative, process-heavy coffees, we were absolutely captivated by this exceptionally clean, fully washed lot from their La Esperanza farm.
This coffee represents everything we love about a classic, terroir-driven Washed Geisha. Typically, high-grown Geishas tend to lean toward heavy, intense floral notes like lavender. However, this lot delivers a wonderfully clean and dazzlingly vibrant jasmine profile—a rare and refreshed expression among recent washed Geishas that strongly recalls the stunningly bright Volcan Geishas from Panama a few years ago.
Driven by an exceptionally high intensity of jasmine ("very jasmine"), bright notes of fresh lemon lead into a beautifully perfumed, passionfruit-like sweetness that lingers endlessly on the palate. It is a brilliant showcase of pristine processing, structural balance, and pure genetic potential.
