Thoughtful Coffee

El Roble - Washed Gesha

Lemongrass, brown sugar, black tea

About this coffee

El Roble - Washed Gesha. From Colombia, Pitalito, Huila. Merchant processing label: Washed. Merchant tasting profile: Lemongrass, brown sugar, black tea.

Processing

Cherries are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, then rested whole in a hopper for 24 hours before depulping. A second 40-hour fermentation in tanks follows, after which the coffee is washed and moved to raised African beds for 10–15 days of slow, even sun-drying to a final moisture of 10.5–11.5%. The long, controlled fermentation is what builds the florals without tipping into funk.
