Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
King Arthur combines the Geisha variety with a natural process in Huila, and 1718 describes the resulting cup with jasmine, hibiscus, ripe peach, red cherry, citrus, honey and tropical fruit. The value of this page is in the documented combination of variety, place, process and cup profile rather than the Geisha name alone. Its bright, refined acidity and silky body make it a discovery-led coffee, especially when brewed as filter and tasted across different serving temperatures.
Recommended Brewing
-
V60: A clean pour-over format makes it easier to follow the floral, peach and citrus layers.
-
Chemex: The cleaner filter can emphasize clarity and the coffee’s refined structure.
-
AeroPress: Useful when you want a concentrated but still aromatic interpretation.
-
Espresso: Works as an exploratory espresso when carefully dialed, but filter remains the easier route for its floral complexity.
1718 Brewing Tip: Try tasting this coffee again as it cools; you may notice different floral or fruit details at lower serving temperatures.
