OOPS all geshas Archers set

Feeling boogie? We've got a hyper limited amount of this gesha set for people interested in sampling a lot of geshas. I'll be putting together a cupping for these geshas, but I'll have some leftovers!

 

Who is this set good for? This will only include 15g of each coffee, which should be good for a brew of each. This is good for people who want to try a lot of different geshas side by side. I think this would be fun for coffee events or meet ups. Or just nerdy people who want to see the subtle differences between different panama producers. Most of them are washed, but there's a few processed lots in there as well. 

 

Here's what will be in the set (all repackaged 15g!):
