Roaster Kat | Brewing Coffee Blossom Tea from Gesha Flowers I Dried (Over a Year Ago) @roasterkat | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 minute ago
I just found a little stash of this coffee blossom tea I made over a year ago! I was living and working on a coffee farm in Kona, Hawai'i (shout out to Kona Farm Direct) and had the chance to pick, dry, and brew a "tea" from the Gesha coffee flowers. Gesha (sometimes spelled Geisha) is a coffee variety that's highly prized for its delicacy, sweetness, acidity, and floral notes. Of course, that's the coffee.
So what do the flowers themselves taste like as a tea?
After spending a year in a bag?
I guess I'll find out.
Watch along to see what happens. Plus take a trip in the time machine with video from March 2021 as I pick the coffee blossoms and lay them out to complete their drying.
