Janson X Los Alpes Washed Geisha Lot 536 is a delicate and vibrant coffee, featuring fragrant jasmine, zesty grapefruit, and sweet mandarin orange, with a refined white tea-like finish. Its crisp acidity and silky body create an elegant and refreshing cup.

This lot is processed using the Janson X drying method, which combines advanced technology with traditional techniques for precise and consistent drying. After the washed process, where cherries are depulped, fermented, and fully washed, the coffee is dried in temperature-controlled "dark rooms." These chambers regulate humidity and airflow, preserving the Geisha’s bright floral and citrus notes while enhancing its clarity and complexity.

The Janson X Los Alpes Washed Geisha Lot 536, roasted by Rosso Coffee Roasters, represents a meticulous collaboration from the Volcán region of Panama. Produced by Janson Coffee at an elevation of 1600-1700 masl, this lot showcases the Geisha varietal, which is widely celebrated for its distinctively elegant profile.

When evaluating such refined coffees, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to better articulate the nuanced interplay between floral aromatics and citrus acidity.
