Lot #15 - Geisha Symbiosis Honey, Black Moon

Graded 93 - the highest-scoring coffee we've featured at Glass.

A Symbiosis Honey Geisha from Black Moon's new farm in Cerro Punta, Panama, grown at around 2,000 m.a.s.l. The cooler conditions at this altitude build a sweet, lifted floral cup.

Violet and blackberry lead, with peach and plum beneath. As it cools, mandarin and orange blossom lift the aromatics and a panela-like sweetness comes forward. The honey process adds weight without heaviness, closing on a long, silky floral finish.

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.

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.
