FROM THE ROASTER

THIS MARKS OUR FIRST RELEASE OF COFFEES FROM HONDURAS EVER! WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN WORKING WITH HONDURAN COFFEES THROUGH ANGEL ARTURO PAZ. ARTURO IS A RESPECTED AND DECORATED COFFEE PRODUCER, AS WELL AS THE HEAD OF QUALITY CONTROL FOR THE EXPORTING COMPANY BENEFICIO SAN VICENTE. WE HAVE ADMIRED ARTURO'S COFFEES OVER THE YEARS, AND HIS GESHA HAS BEEN A VERY MEMORABLE COFFEE.

WE EXPERIENCE BEAUTIFULLY PERFUMED WHITE FLORALS, SUCH AS GARDENIA AND MAGNOLIA. THE CUP IS EXTREMELY FRUIT-FORWARD AS WELL; SYRUPY YELLOW TROPICAL FRUIT SUCH AS RIPE MANGO AND A ZINGY CANDIED LEMON. THE SWEETNESS IS DENSE AND SYRUPY, AND THE FINISH LINGERS EVER SO PRESENT. THIS COFFEE LEANS HEAVILY TOWARDS THE PANAMA STYLE OF WASHED GESHA.

PROCESS

THE CHERRIES ARE CAREFULLY PICKED AT PEAK RIPENESS AND TRANSPORTED TO THE WET MILL, WHERE THEY ARE PLACED IN SEALED PLASTIC BARRELS FOR 36 HOURS OF ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION. AFTERWARD, THE CHERRIES ARE DE-PULPED AND THE PARCHMENT IS DARK ROOM DRIED.
