The formats, and what they're for
One Half Coffee bottled Finca Sophia's auction lot FSA-06 as a 15 g Geisha natural at RM400 — a tasting format, not a daily driver. Longboard releases 80 g tasting collections ahead of its October 2026 auction. Proud Mary offers the Lamastus Luito Geisha natural in 100 g limited editions. Klatch roasts its Don Julian Geisha as a 170 g bag to order. The format is a signal: these are coffees to study, not to burn through.
Brewing small doses well
With 15–30 g doses, a standard pour-over still works: for a 15 g dose, brew 250 g of water at roughly 1:16.5 and accept a slightly faster drain; with 80–170 g bags, brew 15–18 g doses repeatedly rather than one large batch — three smaller brews show a coffee's range better than one big one. Weigh everything; at these prices, a 2 g pour-over error is a real loss. And follow any brew card the roaster includes — roasters like Sey tune their guidelines to the specific coffee.
Stretching the experience
Three practices multiply a small lot. Cup it: a side-by-side of 8–12 g doses turns your 100 g edition into a comparative tasting rather than three anxious brews. Share the brew — Geisha reads best discussed warm. And freeze half on arrival (see our storage guide) so the last brew is as good as the first. None of this is roaster-endorsed protocol; it's practical handling for high-value lots.
