GESHA LAS FLORES

Our latest offering from award-winning coffee producer Jhoan Vergara is this thermal shock processed gesha. This exotic variety is just one of many Jhoan and his family has planted over the last decade as they shifted their approach from a more traditional coffee plantation model to a focus on high-quality specialty coffees. Jhoan's expertise in postharvest processing techniques is showcased beautifully in this complex cup with a refined flavor profile. 

After fermenting this lot anaerobically for 60 hours, the coffee is washed with cold water to shock the beans and lock in the flavor profile for a more distinguished and lasting flavor profile. Gesha Las Flores starts with a bright citric acidity like pink grapefruit and lemon, a vanilla sweetness, and a unique spiced undertone of cardamom as it cools.

Devoción sources this washed Geisha from producer Jhoan Vergara in Huila, Colombia, grown at 1,750 meters. The Geisha varietal is prized for its distinctive floral and tea-like clarity, though expression varies significantly by origin and processing. Here, washed processing emphasizes the coffee's inherent brightness: pink grapefruit and lemon acidity frame more delicate vanilla and cardamom notes. This combination of citrus snap with spiced sweetness reflects both the varietal's potential and the high-altitude terroir of Colombia's southern Huila region.
