Gesha - Fermented Honey Process

This is a fermented honey process from the famous husband & wife couple, Juliana Guevara & Wbeimar Lasso. We have multiple lots available from this farm but this Gesha is a favorite by a wide margin - this is the third vintage we have purchased & every year it somehow gets even more refined & tastier. We just can’t stay away.

Atypical to a traditional honey processed coffee - this lot was depulped & fermented in tanks for 48 hours. Upon completion, the mucilage was broken down but not entirely. This delicate layer is carefully preserved before being moved to the family’s solar dryers which requires a meticulous method to avoid any off-flavors. The total drying time is extremely slow & was completed after a 25 day period. This slow process allows complex flavors to develop within the coffee which creates a beautiful depth of flavor that works cohesively with the Gesha variety. Pairing this process with a high elevation (1950MASL) & the caring hands of Juliana Guevara & her husband, we hope that you thoroughly enjoy this coffee as much as these contributing factors would suggest (& as much as we do!).
