White Honey Gesha

Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of our friend Sebastian Ramírez in our El Placer Gesha a a 90+ scoring coffee celebrated for its outstanding quality.

This semi-washed Gesha undergoes a 48-hour carbonic maceration in sealed tanks, amplifying its inherent complexity. The cherries are then carefully pulped, lightly washed to retain a touch of mucilage, and slowly sun-dried on 'eldas' to achieve the ideal humidity level – resulting in a clean, expressive cup.

In the cup, expect vibrant floral and lemongrass aromas, layered with ripe peach sweetness and a lively, juicy acidity. Every element reflects Sebastián’s pursuit of precision and innovation, positioning the El Placer Gesha White Honey lot as a benchmark in contemporary coffee production.

We were the first roaster in the UK to secure this lot – which later gained international recognition when Ian from Formative Coffee used it to win the Irish Barista Championship and reach the semi-finals at the World Barista Championship. We froze the final 2kg of green beans, and have now chosen to roast and serve it exclusively at Glass Coffee, Camden Town.
