This Geisha Washed is exceptionally floral and delicate—truly one of our favorites! Marlon’s approach is thoughtful yet intentionally simple, focusing on letting the coffee express the natural character of the variety rather than overcomplicating the process.

Each sip reveals layers of complexity while remaining elegant and approachable—a true reflection of Marlon’s meticulous care and dedication to bringing out the best in this exceptional variety.
