China Yunnan Menghe . Gesha Natural Coffee Bean

The Signature Pour-Over Recipe

To emphasize the sparkling "orange blossom and citrus" notes, this light-medium roast is best extracted using a manual drip method (such as a V60) with the following parameters:

• Dose (In): 15 grams of freshly, medium-coarsely ground coffee
• Water Temperature: $91^\circ\text{C}$ to $93^\circ\text{C}$ (to beautifully extract delicate florals without bitterness)
• Ratio: 1:15 (Yielding approx. 225g of liquid coffee)
• Target Profile: Exceptionally clean, bright, and highly aromatic, prioritizing smooth honeyed sweetness and complex citrus over heavy body.

Versatile Brewing Options

While manual drip methods let its nuances shine brightest, this versatile Yunnan Gesha also performs beautifully across other precision brewing styles:

• Siphon: Accentuates the clean natural processing, elevating the floral orange blossom aromas and crisp citrus clarity.
• French Press: Tames the brightest acidic peaks while extracting a smoother, rounder mouthfeel that highlights the rich honey base.
• Drip Coffee Machine: Great for an effortless, incredibly smooth, and top-tier comforting morning mug.
• Moka Pot: Offers an adventurous, highly concentrated, and intensely vibrant extraction for those who enjoy a bright, citrus-forward punch.

Pro-Tips for Best Flavor

• Let it Rest: Light-medium roasts need time to open up. Allow your whole beans to rest in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This crucial degassing phase ensures a balanced and flawless extraction.
• Storage: Keep your precious beans inside their original packaging using the integrated resealable zipper. Store the bag in a cool, dark pantry—never the refrigerator—to safeguard the fragile aromatic oils from destructive moisture and condensation.

To keep your coffee beans tasting at their peak flavor, shield them from air, moisture, heat, and light.

1. Use the Original Bag
The packaging is already designed for optimal preservation. It features a resealable zipper and a recyclable degassing valve that lets carbon dioxide escape without letting oxygen in. Squeeze out excess air and zip it tightly after each use.

2. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Place the bag in a kitchen pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from heat sources like ovens, microwaves, or sunny windows. Additionally, avoid storing it near strong spices, as coffee beans easily absorb surrounding odors.

3. Avoid the Refrigerator
Never store your daily coffee in the fridge. The temperature fluctuations from opening and closing the door create internal condensation, which ruins the essential oils and stales the beans rapidly.

Tip: If you bought whole beans, let them "rest" in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This allows the beans to de-gas, ensuring a smoother extraction for your espresso.
