Flavours in the cup: Elegant, clean cup: florals, tea, soft citrus and delicate sweetness; refined rather than aggressive acidity. Process (washed, natural, honey), elevation and roast can shift this guidance a lot.
Technical notes and growing zone: Usual zone and origins: Malawi, Tanzania. Guidance altitude: 1.200–1.700 m. Habit: Medium shrub; exact form depends on management and pruning. Cultivation: Needs room and sound plant health; rust-susceptible but rewarding at elevation.
Usage tips: Filter with thorough extraction shows clarity; in espresso, a slightly longer recipe helps. In Cafesito, search the name with origin and process; compare lots before judging the variety.
Common mistakes: Expecting Gesha or SL28 profiles; underextracting and losing florals; buying low-elevation Typica as premium specialty.
