BAMBITO ESTATE HIGHLAND GRACE LOT 2 - GESHA, WASHED

FROM THE ROASTER
WE SELECTED THIS LOT DURING OUR TRIP TO PANAMA. THE MOMENT WE CUPPED IT, WE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST INTENSELY FLORAL CUP OF THE ENTIRE TRIP. THERE IS SOMETHING TRULY DISTINCTIVE ABOUT THE WASHED GESHAS FROM BAMBITO: THE FLORALITY HITS DIFFERENTLY, INCREDIBLY EXPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFULLY DEFINED, WITH AN ACIDITY THAT STRUCTURES THE CUP WITH REMARKABLE PRECISION.
BAMBITO ESTATE HAS BEEN PART OF THE SITTÓN FAMILY SINCE THE EARLY 1900S AND IS LED TODAY BY PRISCILLA AND HER SON IVAN. LOCATED ON THE SLOPES OF VOLCÁN BARÚ BETWEEN 1600 AND 1800 METERS, THE 15-HECTARE ESTATE IS SURROUNDED BY TWO NATIONAL FOREST PARKS AND RUNS ITS OWN GREENHOUSE, MILL AND CUPPING ROOM.
PROCESS
RIPE CHERRIES WERE DEPULPED AND FERMENTED WITH THEIR MUCILAGE FOR 36 HOURS BEFORE BEING THOROUGHLY WASHED. THIS GENTLE FERMENTATION ADDS SWEETNESS, STRUCTURE AND DEPTH WHILE KEEPING THE CLEAN, ELEGANT CHARACTER OF A TRADITIONAL WASHED GESHA.
