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 proud to continue our direct trade relationship with El Morito Farm for a second consecutive year. This season, we have selected an exceptional lot from the La Mandarina plot—a standout Geisha that represents the very best of their current harvest.
The Quality & Terroir
The coffees from El Morito are shaped by extreme altitude and remarkable bean density. This high-elevation environment ensures a cup of pristine clarity and a lush, rounded body. While their coffees are consistently sweet, this year’s lot is particularly bold, anchoring its complexity in a deep, pervasive sweetness.
The Tasting Experience
The flavor journey is defined by a striking, high-energy progression:
• The Yuzu Opening: A crisp, yuzu-driven brightness that immediately sets a refreshing tone.
• The Heart: Vibrant lavender florals, the iconic signature of a world-class, high-grown Geisha.
• The Ramune Soda Finish: An unprecedented and rare Ramune Soda finish. This "blue," vibrant sweetness is incredibly refreshing and electric, offering a modern, high-energy departure from traditional profiles.
Why it stands out:
It is rare to find a coffee that balances the "Geisha DNA" of elegant florals with such a vibrant, refreshing finish. That final note of Ramune soda is entirely unique to this harvest, making it a truly singular sensory experience.
