A beautifully floral Gesha, this semi-washed coffee carries a touch of funk that softens as the coffee rests. The first sip opens with an intensely sweet and floral hibiscus and lemongrass character, followed by a delicate earl grey tea like finish.

Unblended: 

This coffee undergoes a meticulous process, driven by Andrés' passion for showcasing the bean’s purest profile and unlocking its full potential. Every step is carefully monitored to bring out the best in the Gesha variety. The cherries first undergo a 48-hour fermentation with beer yeast, enhancing oxidation and stabilizing the flavor. The process then continues in mucilage, with the pulp remaining attached for 24 hours, during which the beans are stirred every 3 to 4 hours to ensure even fermentation. Next, the beans enter a two-stage drying phase: the first seven days at a lower temperature, followed by an additional 2 to 3 weeks at a higher temperature until they reach 12% moisture. 

Rest: 2 Weeks
