Cold brew pour-over method for Panamanian Geisha coffee & price grade classification of Geisha coffee beans

For coffee beginners who are still new to brewing, how can you make a delicious cup of Gesha coffee? The reputation of Gesha coffee is proportional to its price—if it doesn’t taste good, it’s not only a waste but also a shame.~

.Because Geisha has high commercial value, besides the Geisha from the Finca Elida Estate in Boquete, Panama, which made Geisha famous, there are many Geisha options available on the market today.Jamaica, Costa Rica, Honduras, Bolivia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, and even Yunnan in China grow Gesha coffee beans.Of course, even though they are all Gesha, their flavors still differ.Team members at Front Street Coffee have noted that Gesha beans from other producing countries simply don’t match the vibrancy of Panamanian Gesha.Therefore, if you are coming to try Geisha coffee, HowToTrip Coffee recommends starting with Panama, especially the Boquete Geisha from the same producing region as the Hacienda La Esmeralda.

,,.Of course, if money is no object, you can go for it — Front Street Coffee recommends first trying the Gesha brewed by baristas in a café, so you at least know what professionally brewed Gesha tastes like.For cupping or tasting, you can directly brew beans from the Emerald Estate, or even go for the top-tier Red Label directly. A cup isn’t expensive — for example, at Qianjie Coffee, a Red Label cup costs just 75 RMB, Green Label 60 RMB, and Blue Label is even cheaper at around 30 RMB.

Filter: V60#01
Water temperature: 91°C
Coffee dosage: 15g
Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:15
Grind size: Medium-fine grind (78% passing rate through a No. 20 sieve according to Chinese standards)

Considering that this Gesha coffee bean is lightly roasted, and lightly roasted beans have a lower extraction rate of coffee substances compared to dark roasted beans, Front Street used a higher water temperature for brewing to ensure full extraction of the Gesha flavors. A finer grind was also chosen.

Front Street Pour-Over Process

Front Street Coffee uses a step extraction method, also known as three-stage brewing.

Start with 30 grams of water for a 30-second bloom, then pour in a small circular motion until you reach 125 grams for the first pour. When the water level drops and is about to expose the coffee bed, continue pouring to 240 grams and stop. When the water level drops again and is about to expose the coffee bed, remove the filter (start timing the bloom). The total extraction time is 2'00" to 2'05".
