- Variety: Geisha - Country: Colombia - Region: San Adolfo, Huila - Process: Anaerobic Washed - Altitude: 1900 MASL - Producer: Wilder Lasso - Farm: La Dinastía - Roast Level: Extra-Light In the cup We taste beautiful florals like lavender and lilac with an underpinning white honey sweetness. This coffee has a distinct sweetness that reminds us of sugary Froot Loops cereal. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer Wilder Lasso (or Lazo) is actually a veterinarian specialized in livestock farming. As the coffee price continued to decline in 2016 and his father fell seriously ill, he decided to bring the family farm up to speed together with his brother. Initially, their coffees scored between 80-83 points on the cupping scale, despite elaborate processes and preparations. Wilder started examining soil samples and using targeted nutrients and fertilizers to neutralize the pH value, thereby increasing the availability of nutrients for the coffee trees. He refers to this as precision agriculture. Processing To ensure optimal results, the coffee trees are first provided with nutrient-rich soil. Fully ripe and exceptionally large cherries are harvested and washed in water tanks to remove impurities and floating beans. After pulping the cherries, Wilder places them in blue fermentation tanks. The tanks are then filled with water and sealed, allowing the coffee to ferment for 120 hours. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is fully washed and dried in marquesinas over 12 days. Wilder’s approach to anaerobic fermentation highlights what he calls the “true coffee character.” In anaerobic conditions, microorganisms work much slower compared to aerobic processes. While much of what occurs between picking and drying is often misclassified as fermentation (when it is technically oxidation), Wilder adheres to a precise anaerobic methodology. Variety This variety was originally collected from coffee forests in Ethiopia in the 1930s. From there, it was sent to the Lyamungu research station in Tanzania, and then brought to Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Central America in the 1953, where it was logged as accession T2722. It was distributed throughout Panama via CATIE in the 1960s after it had been recognized for tolerance to coffee leaf rust. The plant's branches, however, were brittle and not favoured by farmers so it was not widely planted. The coffee came to prominence in 2005 when the Peterson family of Boquete, Panama, entered it into the "Best of Panama" competition and auction. It received exceptionally high marks and broke the then-record for green coffee auction prices, selling for over $20/pound.There is significant confusion about Geisha because there are multiple genetically distinct plant types that have been referred to as Geisha, many of which share similar geographic origins in Ethiopia. Recent genetic diversity analyses conducted by World Coffee Research confirm that Panamanian Geisha descendent from T2722 is distinct and uniform. It is associated with extremely high cup quality when the plants are managed well at high altitude, and is known for its delicate floral, jasmine, and peach-like aromas. Transparency Direct $53.10 USD/KG Roasted Costs $44 USD/KG This is yet another stellar Geisha from our friend, Wilder Lasso (Lazo). We are excited to share another anaerobic washed lot from his farm, La Dinastía. In the cup we get white honey, intense lavender, and a distinct sweetness reminiscent of Froot Loops cereal. This is an Extra-light roast variant of Sugar Dust. Extra-light profiles often exchange intensity in sweetness and acidity for clarity, and are recommended to rest for at least 4-5 weeks for best results.
