Theres a pivotal moment as a roaster, when you feel like youre becoming one with the machine. We previously mentioned that we had an uncanny ability to taste coffees on Jobo (our prized old Buckeye BC 5 roaster) before the beans even hit its drum walls. Its the ability to see the coffee and flavors before they happen. Pedro Garcias

We’ll be frank, this gesha lot means a lot to BOTZ. There’s a pivotal moment as a roaster, when you feel like you’re becoming one with the machine. We previously mentioned that we had an uncanny ability to taste coffees on Jobo (our prized old Buckeye BC-5 roaster) before the beans even hit its drum walls. It’s the ability to “see” the coffee and flavors before they happen. Pedro Garcia’s gesha lot was the first coffee that we could “taste” before we roasted it on the UG-15. We could envision the color of the beans. We could see how wrinkled they were. We could smell the crust before the cupping bowls were even set up. It’s the coffee that told us it was time to 2.0.  

Gesha itself has become well-known worldwide for its exceptional cup quality. It’s dynamic in its fruit profiles and has many different dimensions (papaya, berry, melon, the list goes on and on…). We may be biased, but when quality is equal, we’re partial to Peruvian geshas and their expressions (we robotically find them to offer a unique oolong tea sensation).  

Pedro Garcia’s gesha provides a cup profile that’s electric, bouncy, and piercing with yellow and orange fruits in combo with a decisive lime green cut (hence Avada Kedavra…but only to bad vibes, of course!). There’s a pineapple upside-down cake sweetness that effortlessly flows into a dreamsicle flavor and heavy body (very similar to a previous BOTZ release from Maria Nieves). The finish lingers with jasmine and bergamot. It’s everything we could ask for our first gesha release on the UG-15. We saw it before it was. And then it became. Time for 2.0.
