Flavor Description

Washed Alishan Geisha usually reveals Taiwan high-mountain coffee’s tea-like structure and clarity more clearly than honey processing. Expect jasmine, white florals, bergamot, and a finish reminiscent of high-mountain oolong tea. The sweetness is clean and the acidity is delicate, making the cup feel very elegant.

Why It’s Popular

It helps drinkers immediately understand the difference between “Taiwan-style Geisha” and Panama Geisha. The Taiwan version is often more tea-like, finer, and cleaner, which has made it increasingly attractive in the specialty market.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, water temperature 90–91°C, ratio 1:16
