## What the Brand Says

> Product Description Producer Tim Leahy and Bernard Uhe Cultivar Gesha Process Double Ferment Washed Location Loja, Ecuador Altitude 2100 masl Harvest August - September Expect notes of Honeysuckle, Passionfruit, Lemon Coffee Story This exquisite washed Gesha from La Noria farm in Ecuador is a true standout, having secured first place at the 2023 Cup of Excellence. This years lot is no exception, from the moment it's ground, it releases intense floral aromas intertwined with ripe fruit. When brewed, especially as an espresso, it offers vivid flavours of honeysuckle, passion fruit, and bright citrus, alongside a fine, silky, and luxuriously creamy texture. Its remarkable aromatic clarity and lively, juicy acidity contribute to an elegant, enduring finish, truly transporting you to the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes. La Noria, located in the Vilcabamba Valley of Loja province, is part of the ChocoVilcaMundo cooperative, which prioritises environmentally conscious agroforestry. The farm, situated between 2,000 and 2,270 meters above sea level, benefits from a unique terroir influenced by Pacific Ocean currents and mountain airflow, with average temperatures ranging from 13°C to 23°C. The coffee undergoes a meticulous washed, double fermentation process: ripe berries are initially fermented in bags for 48 hours, then depulped and fermented for an additional 48 hours, with consistent turning, ensuring its exceptional quality. Roast type We don’t label our coffee as espresso or filter. Instead, for each coffee we create a unique roasting profile, designed to bring out the best flavours from its origin, farm and milling method. That’s why, instead, we label our coffee based on the experience it brings to the cup. COFFEE EXPERIENCES RARE & ACCLAIMED: Truly special stuff, from rare lots to award-winning coffees.
