MEET THE PRODUCER | Year in and year out, some of the best Gesha lots in Colombia originate from Pablo Guerrero's farm on the sloping hills of Nariño. Pablo neither comes from a coffee-growing family nor background, but he made the switch from architecture to agriculture in 1988 and planted his first coffee trees about twelve years later. Today, he is a storied producer with numerous competition coffees and one first-place Cup of Excellence win under his belt. Pablo is gregarious, exacting, and a lover of German Shepherds - the latter of which feature prominently in photos from the farm itself. 

We are grateful and thrilled to have the opportunity to feature a lovely washed Gesha lot from this renowned Colombian producer, but we have to be honest: there isn't much of it to go around! We are offering this black-label-quality coffee at a slightly lower price as a way of extending our own good fortune in procuring this coffee in the first place, and we're sure it won't be on the menu for long.

TRUST THE PROCESS | After being picked at peak ripeness and sorted for defects, the coffee cherries underwent 48 hours of fermentation in a hermetically sealed stainless steel tank. Then, the coffee was washed with fresh water before being spread out on raised beds to sun-dry for twenty-two days.

TAKE A SIP | Rather than the soft florals often associated with Colombian Gesha coffee, this coffee features big, vibrant florals on the nose - similar, perhaps, to a Panamanian Gesha you might've sipped. All the other tell-tale Gesha signs are there, of course: complex citrus, like bergamot; stone fruit, like white peaches; and a texture and finish that reminds us of sipping oolong tea. The cup as a whole is exceptionally clean and unbelievably transparent, transporting us right back to the competition stage.
