During a recent visit to the town of Versailles, I decided to stop in at Terres de Café to see what espresso they were serving that day. I learned that they were serving an Ethiopian roast called Yeti. However, the barista told me that they had sold out of 250g bags, so I would need to purchase a 1 kg bag if I wanted to take beans home.
Because I did not want to purchase such a large quantity of coffee, I opted to forgo tasting the espresso of the day.
Instead, I decided to purchase and take home a 250g bag of Geisha Santa Maria that I saw on the display shelf.
The coffee is grown on a farm called Santa Maria in the Nariño Buesaco region in Colombia. I ground 18g of beans finely and brewed an espresso with my 9Barista stove-top machine. The result was a sweet, hearty coffee with intensely fruity notes, which I identified as clementine. As well as clementine, the tasting notes on the bag also indicate lemongrass, jasmine, red fruits, and cane sugar.
