Eudis Orosco - Gesha Variety

Eudis Orosco named his farm Finca Villa Vista—an apt name for a farm that sits at a staggering 2,117 meter altitude with stunning views of snow-capped mountains and lush plant life. Eudis originally learned farm management from his father and refined his practices over the years with help from his cooperative, Incahuasi. From a section of his farm dedicated to the cultivation of the Gesha variety, this is an exquisite example of how amazing geography, coffee variety, and quality control produce a first-rate coffee with notes of blackberry, floral, and tropical fruit.

This offering from producer Eudis Orosco showcases the Gesha variety, a cultivar widely celebrated in the specialty industry for its distinct, tea-like clarity and complex aromatic profile. Cultivated at 2117 masl, this specific lot is roasted by Counter Culture Coffee and presents a vibrant sensory experience defined by notes of blackberry, floral aromatics, and tropical fruit.

When exploring coffees of this caliber, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced layers of acidity and sweetness inherent in high-elevation harvests. While Gesha is often prized for its delicate, perfume-like qualities, the final expression in the cup is always a reflection of the unique terroir and the meticulous processing methods employed by the producer. This selection serves as a compelling example of how careful cultivation and precise roasting can highlight the inherent elegance of the Gesha variety.
