Colombia El Encanto Washed Gesha - Daisy + Fredy Acevedo

About This Coffee

This washed Geisha coffee is produced by Daisy and Fredy Acevedo on their farm El Encanto in the Filandia region of Quindío, Colombia. Grown at 1,750 meters altitude, this single-origin coffee features the Geisha variety known for its exceptional clarity and floral characteristics. The beans undergo a washed process with 72-hour dry fermentation, resulting in a clean and complex cup. Tasting notes include apple blossom, mandarin, lychee, stone fruit, lemongrass, jasmine, white peach, orange blossom, and bergamot. The coffee presents a silky mouthfeel with sparkling acidity and performs beautifully as both filter and espresso.

Alinea Coffee Roasters

Alinea Coffee Roasters was founded in the end of 2018 by Michael Matthews in New Orleans, Louisiana, starting with a small Arc 800 roaster before upgrading to a Diedrich IR 12 as orders grew. Matthews built the business around the idea of educating consumers on where coffee originates, who produces it, and the price paid to farmers. The roastery carries only seasonal single origin coffees sourced from Central and South America, East Africa, and the Western Pacific, roasting to order each Monday. Matthews also serves as coffee director and lead barista at Bearcat, a breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown New Orleans, where he runs the coffee programme using Alinea beans. He placed 11th overall in the U.S. Coffee Championships in 2023 and rose to 3rd place in 2024.
