Among the many beautiful examples of the gesha variety that we have had the privilege of tasting, Anibal Burbano’s competition lot is notable for its elegant balance and nuanced flavors. Gentle aromatics of citrus, honey, and spearmint introduce a cup with delicate notes of strawberry, clementine, apricot, and black tea. Look for increased flavor complexity and a refreshing wintergreen finish as the coffee cools. Passenger was able to secure just 50 pounds of Anibal Sanchez Burbano’s exquisite competition lot that was awarded 2nd place at the 2021 Colombia Cup of Excellence competition. A remarkably clean and complex example of the renowned gesha variety, Señor Burbano’s entry is one of the finest Colombian coffees we have ever had the pleasure of tasting.
