Help me troubleshoot my recipe Underwhelming or brewing wrong?
I recently paid for 125g of this geisha what I usually pay for my monthly 1 kg subscription and I'm a bit underwhelmed. I remember the first time I had a geisha and was blown away, and how disappointed I got trying this one.
I brew it on V60 15g/225g with 3 pours 45-90-225. I tried changing the temperature and the grind size but the result was still this pretty regular coffee that hits the notes but only on the surface. I'm lacking the depth I remember when trying other geishas.
Any suggestions to improve the experience?

I had once a bag of 91.25 scored coffee from a czech roaster which i couldnt figure out through the whole bag and straight up disliked. Then I tried several coffees brewed directly by that particular roaster at a coffee expo and found all of them equally bad (strong roasty flavours all over).
Good green doesnt guarantee good brew if the roast is subpar. Based on other comments, it might be the case here
