This Gesha variety coffee originates from Volcan Azul in the West Valley region of Costa Rica, grown at 1500-1700 meters altitude by producer Alejo Castro. The beans undergo a shade anaerobic natural process, fermented in tanks for 5 days with careful monitoring of temperature, brix content, and acidity before drying on patios for 11 days and mechanical drying for 8 hours. The coffee offers grapefruit, gala apple, and plum jam flavors.
