Alex Herrera - Gesha, sleeping bag natural🇬🇹

from DKK 170.00

This is the second of three micro lots we bought from Alex Herrera this harvest. It’s a delicate Gesha variety that we’re really excited to share with you!

The Gesha bush only gives about half the yield of other varieties, which makes it more exclusive and highly sought-after. This lot comes from Alex’s lower-altitude farm, Los Andes, and it’s easily the most elegant and delectable of the three coffees we roast from him. Think tea-like clarity with bergamot notes and a soft floral finish. Alex used a signature sleeping bag natural processing method to balance out the temperature during the drying stage and increase fermentation. The final result is a lighter-in-character cup, basically the coffee you can serve to the tea drinker in your family who says they don’t like coffee. 

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Cheers!
