Lychee Loops

A geisha from Heiner Lasso in Colombia, co-fermented with lemongrass leaves and stems. The lemongrass carries straight through to the cup, sitting between lychee and white currant, with the floral lift you'd expect from a geisha underneath it all. An experimental process applied to a variety that usually speaks for itself, and in this case the two work together rather than competing.

Dayglow sources this co-fermented Geisha from producer Heiner Lasso in Colombia, creating a coffee that showcases the varietal's characteristic floral and tea-like qualities alongside bright stone fruit notes. The roaster identifies lemongrass, lychee, white currant, and floral notes—a profile where the co-fermentation process appears to amplify the fruit-forward aromatics typical of this approach. Geisha coffees are prized for their clarity and delicacy; this lot's emphasis on white currant and citrus suggests a roast designed to preserve these nuanced, lighter expressions rather than deeper caramelized tones.
