Gesha Spirits — Espresso

The Gesha Spirits, an extraordinary gesha from Huila, Colombia. Our first collab with Giraffe Coffee Roasters, limited available at both bars.

This nano lot gave us 24kg, which is semi-washed and anaerobic fermented for 200 hours. It's super clean and balanced due to the strict berry selection. This espresso will give you floral and citrus aromas. Tones of lavender, peach and tropical fruits.

The 24kg coffee is roasted in two batches which results in 2 x 10kg coffee. Both roasts are completed and a special gift pack is now available in the bar, It contains 200gr espresso roast and an information card, costing €33.33.
