Once I managed to perfect the recipe, the flavor was very intense.
A one-time interesting experience
It's incredibly easy to turn it into something almost undrinkable, with a taste of raw cabbage and Brussels sprouts
I don't regret trying it once and playing around with the recipe
But as far as I'm concerned, this is exactly the kind of situation where "once and done" applies.
In my opinion, this is definitely just for nerds—no way it's for normal people.

Extremely "different", surprisingly funky Panama Gesha (Coffee lovers; please, top the Geisha spelling. The name originates from the Gori Gesha region in Ethiopia - and not from a Japanese geisha!).
A Panama Gesha is "normally" characterized by strong but yet light floral and delicate, fruity/citrus like flavour notes. This particular version (due to extended fermentation) is more like a kick in the face/overwhelming, "darkish" and quite notable acid orientated taste experience - with both fruit, dark chocolate, licorice and spices like flavour tones - with an undertone of fermentation notes. So actually quite complex, - but It is NOT a usual representation for a typical Panama Gesha.
I am a sucker for wild taste experiences so I quite like it.
Makes You reflect and wonder even more about the endless taste expressions in this wonderful world of coffee.
Same as for the pros: A Panama Gesha is "normally" characterized by strong but yet light floral and delicate, fruity/citrus like flavour notes. This particular version (due to extended fermentation) is more like a kick in the face/overwhelming, "darkish" and quite notable acid orientated taste experience - with both fruit, dark chocolate, licorice and spices like flavour tones - with an undertone of fermentation notes. This bean/roast is NOT a usual representation for a typical Panama Gesha.
Not a preferred everyday drinking experience for most people.
By no means a charming, calming drinking experience - it´s more like a genuine tastekick in the balls...
Recipe
Method of preparation: Both flat bottom and V60 and Deep 27. Try it as a SOUP also!
Coffee (g): 12 - 15 gr. doses
Water (g): From 1 - 16 and up to 1 - 18 ratios (trust me, this bean carries a lot of taste!). Dilute with water if too strong.
Water temperature: best at 90 - 92 degrees.
Grinder (settings): Depends on the grinder - but a coarser grind is to prefer for this bean.
Process: 2 - 3 pours and a total of 01.45 - 02.30 minutes all work fine (with different tasting notes depending on grind size, brew time etc.)

Fun taste experience
Punches you in the face with a nice acidity
Very difficult to brew without getting medium/dark roasted notes of raisins and molasses.
Very intense. Will not be able to drink this every day.
Looks quite darkly roasted. Definitely not light as described.

Very unusual profile: heavy, notes of liquorice all around.
Drinking this coffee more than twice a week is exhausting to your senses. Also wasn't able to find the advertised sweety notes regardless of the recipe modifications. Nonetheless, good one-time experience, but won't buy this again :D

Very unusual taste profile, not your regular delicate and floral geisha. This punches you in the face with flavor
A complexity I haven't had in any other coffee before. Dark, developed flavors hand in hand with dominant fruitiness (purple and red fruits) as well as (molasses/raisin) sweetness.
A must try once. It is so characterful and strong, it might not be to your liking, but you have to try this to see how coffee can taste.
This is a strong one. I can imagine it can be tiring/overwhelming for some people, especially if you're not into big flavors. Luckily (or unluckily for me) it's only 150g.

absolutely fantastic
The price... but for a Gesha from Panama, this is probably a bargain
