How Is 90+ Perci Panama Geisha Brewed?

90+ Lookout Perci is a natural process geisha coffee from Panama, grown at 1,250 to 1,650 meters and rated level 39. Pour-over guidance calls for 15 grams of coffee, a BG grinder set to 5R, 90 degrees Celsius water, and a V60 dripper, with staged pouring up to 220 grams of water.

The cup goes beyond the usual geisha markers of chamomile and jasmine, adding cherry, mango, pineapple, banana, plum, red grape, honey, and peach. That fruit-forward range comes from the natural process. An iced extraction method is also used for geisha coffee when a colder, lighter profile is wanted.

90+ Perspective Perci is a natural Geisha coffee from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama, introduced and recommended by Front Street Coffee. Its flavor profile far exceeds the traditional impression of Geisha; besides the base notes of chamomile, orange blossom, and jasmine, it also presents rich layers of cherry, mango, pineapple, banana, plum, red grape, honey, and peach. This article focuses on the origin information, flavor characteristics, and brewing methods of this bean, providing detailed pour-over parameters from Front Street Coffee, including 15 grams of powder, BG grinder 5R grind size, 90 degrees Celsius water temperature, V60 dripper, and a complete process of staged pouring to 220 grams, along with an iced extraction method for coffee enthusiasts' reference.

The beans selected for Front Street Perspective Coffee come from the "Perspective" series of the 90+ Panama Geisha Estate. To fully release the inherent flavors of Panamanian coffee beans, precise control of weighing and timing is indispensable; only patient, slow pour-over brewing can reveal its true taste.

Pour a small cup and savor it slowly; it's enough. At first sip, there's a slight bitterness, followed by a gradual emergence of sweetness, then a mild acidity, and upon deeper appreciation, some indescribable fruity notes can be captured.

The name "Perci" is derived from "perspective," originally meaning viewpoint and angle. It was named this way because during sensory experiments on this coffee, the team conducted an overall evaluation as usual but was suddenly struck by a unique experience, leading to a different perspective on coffee than before. Borrowing the meaning of the word, it was named "Perci," also as a reminder to remember this is a coffee that makes one sit up and take notice.

When first blind-tasting this coffee, everyone almost unanimously identified it as a natural Ethiopian bean, and the first thought that came to mind was: this could not possibly be Geisha. The base flavors of Geisha usually include chamomile, orange, and jasmine, but in Perspective, these are only a small part; interwoven with them are a multitude of flavors such as mango, pineapple, carob, banana, plum, red grape, honey, peach, and red coral.

How to brew Front Street Panama Coffee [Front Street NinetyPlus90+ Perspective Perci Geisha Natural]?

Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) Pour-over Reference: Weigh 15g of [Front Street NinetyPlus90+ Perspective Perci Geisha Natural] coffee powder, place in grinder for medium grind, the ground particles slightly coarser than table salt, use BG grinder setting 5R (standard sieve pass rate 60%), water temperature 90 degrees, V60 dripper extraction.

With the center of the dripper as the circle's center, pour hot water from the gooseneck kettle in a clockwise circular motion. Start timing when pouring begins. Within 15 seconds, pour to 30g, then stop. At 1 minute, perform the second pour. The second pour is the same as before: clockwise circles centered on the dripper, avoiding the water stream hitting the area where coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channeling.

Pour until the coffee grounds reach the outermost ring, leaving one ring, then circle back inward. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, pour until the coffee liquid reaches 220g, and brewing is complete.
