Sensory Description:
This is a carbonic maceration (CM) coffee known for its vibrant acidity and balanced sweetness. Expect delicate floral aromas, bright, sparkling acidity, and syrupy fruit notes.
Dial Notes:
Under extracted Illumination remains floral but is grassy and thin. Over extracted will mute the vibrant acidity and taste similar to over steeped black tea with lemon. A well extracted brew should be complex with loads of florals, bright acidity, and pleasant lemon, mango, and pineapple notes. The resulting cup should taste like vibrant florals and yellow fruits.
Three Panamanian Geshas, each shaped by distinct cold-processing techniques. This dial guide breaks down how to brew them with precision—and unlock their full clarity, sweetness, and complexity in the cup.

The Villa Betulia Sidra dialed really quickly for us. We found the best dial to be a grind size around neutral combined with a 21g dose to produce a TDS of 1.45% and extraction of 20.5%. In general, I’m noticing that Sidra varieties taste great with a 21g dose. The higher dose amplifies the fruity and candy notes. This coffee tastes like candy when dialed well and should have a long, sweet, juicy aftertaste.
