【Origin Story: The Geisha Legend of Guji Highlands】

Gelana Estate

Gelana Estate is located in the heart of the Guji region, renowned for its high altitude exceeding 2,000 meters. At such extreme altitudes, coffee cherries have a longer growth cycle, allowing them to slowly accumulate rich sugars and complex flavor compounds. The estate employs meticulous field management to ensure exceptional consistency and purity in this Geisha lot.

Geisha Spirit

This coffee features the globally acclaimed "Geisha" variety. Unlike the intense fruitiness of natural processing, the washed process highlights Geisha's translucent, silky texture. It's not a strong beverage, but rather a delicate, fragrant specialty tea.

【Processing Art: The Ultimate Purity of Washed Process】

To showcase the authentic terroir of Guji, Gelana Estate employs the highest standard washed processing techniques:

1. Strict Sorting: Multiple flotation sorting steps are performed on the day of harvest to remove under-dense cherries.

2. Low-Temperature Fermentation: Fermentation is carried out with clean water to precisely remove mucilage, preserving bright acidity.

3. African Drying Beds: Slow drying on elevated African beds with regular turning ensures stable moisture and flavor balance.

【Cupping Notes】

• Dry Aroma: Fresh jasmine and citrus peel aromas.

• Sip: Immediately met with delicate floral notes and citrus acidity, followed by a sweet peach-like sensation. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth, with bright yet gentle acidity. The finish transitions into a charming Earl Grey tea aftertaste. Overall, it boasts exceptional cleanliness and distinct layers of flavor.

【Brewing Recommendations】

• Water Temperature: 91°C - 93°C

• Coffee to Water Ratio: 1:15 - 1:16

• Grind Size: Medium-fine (similar to granulated sugar)

• Special Note: Recommended for conical drippers (e.g., V60) to enhance its bright citrus acidity and delicate floral layers.
