Lot data: Harvest 07 Mar 2025 • Moon phase: Waxing (Sagittarius) • Wet mill: 07 Mar 2025 • 24h anaerobic fermentation (beer yeasts) • Drying: 08–20 Mar 2025 (12 days, dark-room) • Rest: 4 months (sealed)

This 92.5-point Geisha Washed Lot 2 is floral, high-definition, and extremely clean. This batch was harvested on the waxing moon in Sagittarius; its fermentation was carried out with beer yeasts in an anaerobic system for 24 hours. After the fermentation time it entered a dark drying room for 12 days. It was stored in sealed bags and left to rest for 4 months.

Expect orange blossom, rose, and raspberry on the nose, then orange and tangerine over soft honey in the cup. The texture stays silky and beautifully clean, growing smoother as it cools.

Flavour Profile

The shape of the cup, before the flavour notes.

These six scales describe how this coffee presents in the cup — its structure, not its quality. Each position is descriptive, not a score.

Filter and espresso are profiled separately. The profile reflects how the coffee is intended to be brewed.

Read the full Flavour Profile guide

Perceived sweetness — not sugar. Restrained cups read clean and structured; pronounced cups taste riper and more generous.

Brightness and lift — not sourness. Soft acidity feels gentle and rounded; vibrant acidity has the sparkle of citrus or fresh fruit.

Texture and weight in the mouth — not strength. Tea-like coffees feel light, clean and refined; syrupy coffees feel denser, creamier and more coating.

How strongly the process shapes the taste. Traditional lets the origin speak plainly; expressive adds ferment-led character you can taste in the cup.

How long the flavour stays after the sip. Short finishes end cleanly and reset the palate; long finishes keep evolving after you swallow.

The intensity of the fragrance. Delicate aromatics sit quietly in the cup; strong aromatics reach you before the first sip.
