Gesha Las Margaritas – Café Granja la Esperanza

The coffee is a Gesha varietal that Café Granja grows at their Las Margaritas farm in Cauca Valley, Colombia. Las Margaritas is a 33,8 hectare farm located in Cauca Valley, in the Caicedonia department of West Colombia. Coffees of this farm grow on 14 separate lots in 1.570-1.850 meters above sea level. This Gesha was first hand-picked carefully as part of the peak harvest so that all cherries had ripened as uniformly as possible. After picking, the cherries are fermented with the cherry for 19-22 hours. After that, they’re pulped without using water and fermented with mucilage for another 35 hours. When the fermentation process is done, the coffee is dried slowly on solar driers for 28 days and left in storage for at least 3 months to stabilize it and reduce astringency. Fragrance and aroma: Mixed Berries, Floral as Jasmine, and Roasted nuts. Flavor and aftertaste: Raspberry, Tropical fruits, Floral as Jasmine, juicy with a sweet finish of milk chocolate
