This Gesha variety coffee is grown at high elevation in the Tolima region of Colombia and tended by producer Victor Gutierrez. It features a light, tea-like body with a clean structure. The flavor profile includes floral aromatics of jasmine and orange blossom, followed by notes of ripe cherry, passion fruit, and honeyed citrus. The acidity is lively yet balanced, providing brightness without sharpness. This coffee is roasted with a light touch to preserve its delicate aromatics and highlight its natural sweetness.
