Colombia Encanto Gesha Washed

About This Coffee

This washed gesha coffee is produced at Finca El Encanto in the Quindio region of Colombia, near Filandia. The farm is operated by Daisy and Freddy Acevedo, who work alongside Daisy's father Gustavo to focus on nature conservation while growing coffee under rare native trees. The lot underwent in-husk resting for 48 hours followed by open fermentation for 48 hours, then was fully washed and greenhouse dried for 30 days. The coffee grows at 1680 meters altitude and earned a cup score of 91, offering clean and complex notes of peach, jasmine, and Meyer lemon.
