Geisha

Sadly, another Geisha disappointment. You try an incredible coffee at a local coffee fair, and then can’t get the brew quite right to recreate the tasting experience you had from the roaster. Lesson learned: no point paying a premium for a coffee which will probably not taste so good at home.

Coffee brought back from a short trip. Even though you can sense distinct gesha flavor, I wouldn’t call the quality exceptional, as the packaging claims. Pleasant notes were always accompanied by undesirable woody or smoky ones, despite my efforts to adjust the brewing method. It was best enjoyed while focusing on something else, not when pondering the coffee itself.
