Ethiopia Gesha Village Microlots #021 Honey Coffee Bean

The Signature Pour-Over Recipe

To gracefully emphasize the delicate "coffee blossom and yellow plum" layers, this light-medium roast performs beautifully using a manual drip setup (such as a V60) with the following parameters:

• Dose (In): 15 grams of freshly, medium-coarsely ground coffee
• Water Temperature: 91deg C to 93deg C (to beautifully lift the expressive florals without extracting harsh bitterness)
• Ratio: 1:15 (Yielding approx. 225g of liquid coffee)
• Target Profile: Exceptionally clean, bright, and highly aromatic, prioritizing a pointed stone-fruit acidity and a refreshing Darjeeling tea finish over heavy body.

Versatile Brewing Options

While manual drip methods let its nuances shine brightest, this versatile micro-lot also performs beautifully across these precision alternative methods:

• Siphon: Accentuates the clean honey processing, elevating the fragrant coffee blossom aromas and crisp, sparkling clarity.
• French Press: Tames the pointed acidic peaks while extracting a smoother, rounder mouthfeel that highlights the sweetness of the yellow plums.
• Drip Coffee Machine: Excellent for an effortless, incredibly smooth, and top-tier comforting morning luxury 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 micro-lots need time to fully 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.
