There are many Ethiopian coffees, but there are not many Geisha varieties. If you are suitable for Pour over(V60) coffee, the first choices are Front Street Geisha Village Gold Label, Front Street Geisha Village Red Label, and Front Street Grana Estate Gesha.
If you are a loyal fan of Gesha, you should know that Gesha is actually from Ethiopia. Front Street inquired about the information and learned that Gesha Village is located in the southwest of Ethiopia near South Sudan. It is located in the jungle-covered Bench Maji and covers an area of nearly 500 hectares. When you are in Geisha Village, you can directly overlook the beautiful scenery of the ancient forest. This is a typical Ethiopian high-altitude terrain. Even the lowest altitude plot exceeds 1,900 meters. The advantage of the high altitude is that it gives the coffee fruits the conditions to slowly mature at low temperatures to accumulate more flavor substances.

If you are looking for high value for money, the barista strongly recommends the food-grade Front Street Grana Manor Geisha. Front Street Grana Manor Geisha is sun-dried. When roasted medium-light, the main fruit aromas are peach, citrus, and guava. It is best made by hand brewing and cold extraction. When roasted medium-high, it is Front Street Geisha SOE, which can extract concentrated Italian style, and the flavor changes to dried apricots, caramel, and nuts.

Lightly roasted coffee beans have a harder texture and require higher water temperatures and finer grinding to bring out the aroma of Geisha coffee.
Filter cup: V60
Water temperature: 91-92℃
Powder amount: 15g
Pink to water ratio: 1:15
Grinding degree: the size of fine sugar (sieve powder to 80% in a No. 20 sieve bowl)
Three-stage extraction: Use 30g of water to steam for 30 seconds in the first stage, and evenly inject it in a circle to form a drum. After 30 seconds, start injecting 95g of hot water into the second stage. The powder layer drops to half. Start injecting 100g of the third stage at 1 minute and 05 seconds. End the water injection at 1 minute and 40 seconds until all the coffee is dripped. Pay attention to the center point to start pouring water, and the small flow of water will circulate softly and vigorously throughout the process to avoid uneven extraction.
