Price not usable

Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

What Drip Roasters says about this coffee

This was the first coffee in our offer grown in Asia – and it's back the third year. After buying the honey process before, it is a washed coffee this time.

Coffee from the Alishan region is known for complex flavor profiles. This washed Gesha is no exception: It is beautifully balanced and creamy, with elegant aromatics of florals, tea, chamomile or vanilla – as well as subtle citrus notes.

After harvest, the coffee was processed using the washed process: After a short low-oxygen fermentation, it was pulped, washed, and dried using a mechanical dryer the producer built himself.

Read up on our recent trip to Taiwan or the one before in the Stories section. On both trips, we visited this farm as well.

Tasting notes

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
