Gelana Estate

Gelana Estate is located in the heart of the Guji region, renowned for its high altitude environment 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 ensures the high consistency and purity of this Geisha bean through meticulous farm management.

Geisha Spirit

This bean features the globally acclaimed "Geisha" varietal. Unlike the intense fruitiness of natural processing, the washed method better highlights Geisha's clean, silky texture. It's not like a strong beverage, but rather a delicate, fragrant specialty tea.

【Processing Artistry: The Ultimate Purity of Washed Process】

To showcase the most authentic Guji terroir, Gelana Estate employs the highest standards of washed processing:

1. Rigorous Selection: Multiple floatations 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 beds with regular turning allows moisture and flavors to achieve a stable balance.

【Cupping Notes】

• Dry Aroma: Fresh jasmine and citrus peel aroma.

• Sip: The first sip reveals light floral and citrus acidity, followed by a penetrating peach-like sweetness. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth, with bright but not sharp acidity. The mid-to-end palate transitions to a charming Earl Grey tea aftertaste. Overall cleanliness is excellent, with distinct layers.

【Brewing Recommendations】

• Water Temperature: 91°C - 93°C

• Coffee to Water Ratio: 1:15 - 1:16

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

• Feature: Recommended for brewing with a conical dripper (such as V60) to enhance its bright citrus acidity and delicate floral layers.
