about the coffee

This microlot, a 100% Gesha varietal, reflects the meticulous care and expertise of Luis Anibal Calderon. Grown at an elevation of 1,550 meters, the coffee cherries are harvested with precision, ensuring optimal ripeness. After careful selection, the cherries undergo a 30-hour underwater fermentation, are pulped, and gently washed. The parchment is then dried under controlled conditions to preserve its complex flavours. Gesha, a varietal originating from Ethiopia, is known for its delicate floral and citrus notes. This particular lot showcases a refined balance of vibrant acidity and silky sweetness, highlighting the unique terroir of Huila.
