Expert Review
Produced by the Stille family entirely of the Gesha (also spelled Geisha) variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). This is an early harvest of the Monarch Estate Hawaiian Gesha and roasted a bit darker than the farm’s main harvest of that variety. Monarch Coffee is an award-winning coffee farm and specialty roaster of 100% estate-grown Kona coffee on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Visit www.monarchcoffee.com for more information.
Notes
An easy-drinking medium-roasted Hawaiian Gesha cup, deep and chocolaty.
