This lot is comprised of the best Gesha-selections from friends and family in Garzón, Huila.  Notes include a grape sweetness, pineapple-like acidity, light berry, lemon, florals and a silken texture. The cup is medium in body with med.-high sweetness & acidity. This lot is clean and enjoyable however your brew it, a sure-fire treat. A sparkling rendition of the Gesha variety and I am proud to support the small group of producers that came together to make this lot come to life.

Nine producers came together to compile their very best Gesha cherries from their side of the hill. Cerro Miraflores (Miraflores Hill) is a small group project west of the foothills of the southern tip of the Cordillera Oriental. This area is the widest of the three mountain ranges that make up the Andes. There is a unique biome in these parts made up of parámo and alpine-tundra ecosystems.

Cherrys were harvested in tandem and held-in cherry for up to 36 hours before being de-pulped. Fermented for 72 hours then washed. Dried on raised beds for at least 20 days or until moisture reaches 10%. This Gesha is a really lovely representation of the variety, amplifying the sweetness and body with light floral and citric accents.
