Guatemala: Geisha Honey SHB EP, San Marcos

Geisha—renowned for floral perfume and citrus‑tea clarity—arrived in Central America via Ethiopia in the mid‑20th century and found new expression on Guatemala’s high, volcanic slopes. This SHB EP lot is honey processed: ripe cherries are depulped and dried with a thin layer of mucilage, concentrating sugars while preserving the variety’s delicate aromatics. Kept light in the roaster, the cup shines with jasmine and citrus blossom, sweet lime and bergamot, and a honey‑cane core with gentle stone‑fruit lift. Acidity reads bright and precise; texture lands silky and tea‑like. Expect a clean, lingering finish that carries floral‑citrus resonance and refined sweetness.
