## What the Brand Says

> Farm: Villa Caney Variety: Gesha Region: Llanada de Naranjas, San Agustin, Huila, Colombia Altitude: 1,650 Meters Above Sea Level Process: Washed Harvest: Dec.'24.-Jan. 2025 Notes: Raspberry, Guava & Passion Fruit. Gilberto Chilito Benabides' late harvest Gesha is a big, juicy & tropical coffee. This Gesha displays a delightful zip of acidity to frame the fruity depth of sweetness in the cup. This profile is charactized by notes of raspberry, cranberry, blood orange, pink tropical fruit tart and long subtle florals on the finish. The structure has a full range and a glossy feel that rolls over the palate with ease. A well maturated cherry making for a distinguished brewed coffee. Gilberto Chilito comes from a big family of coffee growing. He's been building out coffee grow operations since he was 15 years old! Gilberto, his wife Marta and three kids live on the farm where this beautiful Gesha has come to life. Their farm is just about 2 hectares (5 acres) of land with up to 1,300 Gesha trees. Gilberto hires up to six workers to help him hand select the ripest cherries with each pass. He then utilizes a traditional washed method with a small amount of cherries being partially de-pulped (semi-washed) before fermentation. You can taste this method in the cup, a heavier berry sweetness hits the palate due to increased mucilage contact on the seed. After washing the coffee is then carefully dried in solar driers for up to a month. Expertly cured and stabilized green coffee so that we get a few months of greatness from this lot. Please enjoy. Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date. Order by Sunday for Monday's roast. Shipped on Tuesdays.
