FLOWER CHILD COFFEE
Divo Niño Gesha
Divo Niño Gesha
Variety: Gesha
Region: Suaza, Huila, Colombia
Elevation: 1,300-1,900 meters
Harvest: August 2024
Process: Washed
Notes: Peach, pear, golden apple, medium body & light florals.
This lot is comprised of community effort from producing partners out of Suaza, Huila. This collab of Gesha harvests is incredibly clean, consistent & juicy. The floral aspects are subdued yet present with hints orange blossom and hibiscus. The profile is rounded with notes of nectarine, apple, ripe pear, melon & honeysuckle. The cup offers a glossy feel with a significant body that brightens up at cool.
This specific lot is a group effort of: Eugenio Cantillo, José Eugenio Cantillo (Eugenio's son), Edgar Garcia Ossa, Javier Cantillo & Yamir Anacona. It's truly an amazing feat when several people from different farms can produce something this clean and consistent. All coordinating their crops and picking times, fermantation and drying protocols together to make this exceptional lot. If the coop Divo Niño didn't exist, these outsanding Gesha cherries might get lost in a mix/field blend or even traded at much lower price. This is a fantastic way to ensure the best price for these producer's work. The cup quality is totally worth it!
Our importing partner Osito has been working on this project Divo Niño for a few years now. Meaning "Divine Child", this group of producers has grown from 25 to 50+ farmers in just a few years. Giving a home to specialty market coffees that would otherwise be lost to us. The leadership on the ground includes Edilma Polania Bermeo, Adrian Bocanegra and Mario Salazar. They have been successful in growing the quality, reach and protocol standards of this coop. They have also been huge for helping farmers gain further success in sales with micro-lots through their regional cup competition Copa Suaceña.
I couldn't be happier with the quality of this coffee. It continues to give and open up weeks off the roast, it's a gem. Cheers!
