This expression of a Colombian washed geisha is full of florals, clean acidity, and a sweet and tea-like presentation! We taste white florals, tropical acidity, and a very delicate tea presentation. The presentation is layered and articulate leaving a long linger of sweetness on your tongue. LET THIS ONE REST. This coffee will open up across the next 3-4 weeks and become much more structured. 

From La Cabra:

This incredible quality of raw material has to be treated with great care at each further stage, in order to preserve the potential created in the field. Luckily the team at Cafe Granja La Esperanza consistently take care of these stages of the process with aplomb. This lot has gone through a double fermentation, similar to many of Granja’s washed lots, first fermented in closed tanks for 20 hours before de-pulping and a further fermentation of 35 hours in open tanks. Finally, the parchment coffee is washed and dried slowly in mechanical driers. This leads to an excellent balance between the heavier sweetness generated by the long fermentation, and the clean and transparent feel that the washed process allows us to maintain. This is the quintessential Cerro Azul Geisha, with crisp white floral and citrus aromas followed by a dense sugary sweetness, crisp peach and white tea in the cup.
