Variety: Gesha Region: Santa Maria, Huila, Colombia Altitude: 2,000 meters Process: Washed Harvest: February 2025 Notes: Grape, Nectarine & Floral. Faver has delivered a magnificent Gesha for us to experience this summer! This is a really fun cup, the profile is complex, big and long with satiating sweetness and florality. Notes include but not limited to: purple grapes, white nectarine, blood orange and long hits of jasmine and coffee blossom. If you know the Don, Faver Ninco, you know this is heavy on the sweetness representation of the variety. That coupled with the nuance of Gesha makes for a layered and intriguing profile. This is a hit for sure. Finca Costa Rica is Faver's farm in the mountains of Santa María, Huila. He owns and runs Finca Costa Rica with his family. Faver's coffee journey began about 25 years ago, when he learned everything he knows about coffee production from his father and neighbors. About six years ago, he became very interested in coffee varietals and specialty coffee. His four children also were involved in this process, and now they all participate in the farm´s production; each of them owns their own coffee plants and selects very carefully the varietals they want to grow to contribute to the family’s economy and their own. This Gesha was picked at peak ripeness. Held in cherry for 12 hours, depulped, and dry fermented for an additional 36 hours. Dried on raised beds until moisture content reaches 10-11%. Approximately 3 people are employed year-round by Finca Costa Rica, and between 8 and 10 pickers are needed during the harvest. Banana trees, avocados, and vegetables are also grown on the farm for the family's consumption. They have a forest reserve that is about 1.5 hectares in size, and they are very protective of the wild animals and water springs there. Order by Sunday for next Monday's roast. Shipped on Tuesday.
