"Excited to relaunch this fantastic competition Geisha used by our Head Roaster Denys to place 5th in the Dutch Brewers Cup!! Denys put together a great run using this delicious coffee, now its time to share it with you all once again!
This exclusive lot of coffee was specially processed just for us in a multi stage fermentation – a variation of the famous “TyOxidator” method done by our great friend Pepe Jijon! The coffee first ferments whole cherry for 42 hours, then an additional 42 hour pulped fermentation before getting washed and dried.
The results are absolutely fantastic! Expect a very vibrant coffee tasting like pink lemonade, dragonfruit and jasmine – just to name a few!
José is a 3rd generation coffee producer and the family has been growing coffee for over 50 years. His father (who has a Ph.D. in food engineering) was the driving force behind researching the effects of different processing methods and logging them in the lab. Jose carried on this interest and has designed a series of his own methodology for processing coffee. He implements these methods on both coffee they grow at the family estate, Las Marias, as well as with cherries they buy from partner farms across Colombia."
