When it comes to whole-fruit dried processing, this coffee has an elegance that is very rare. It is a fine example of processing that supports the cultivar.

In this case, it is geisha, a cultivar known for its magnificent floral characteristics, with a fine and delicate acidity.

This lot from Andres Torres, who is an expert geisha grower, is a stunning example of how a grower's post harvest processing skills can complement the cultivar's characteristics.
