El Salvador La Reforma Geisha Natural

A limited harvest of Geisha from the Alvarez family’s Finca La Reforma, this lot was selectively handpicked and slowly dried with the ripe coffee cherry fully intact.

The El Salvador La Reforma Geisha Natural, sourced from the Alvarez family, represents a meticulous intersection of regional terroir and specialized cultivation. As a Geisha varietal, this coffee is part of a lineage celebrated globally for its distinct, tea-like elegance and complex aromatic profile. By utilizing a natural processing method, the producers allow the coffee cherry to dry intact around the bean, a technique that often imparts a heavier body and pronounced sweetness compared to washed counterparts.

Offered by Intelligentsia Coffee, this lot invites enthusiasts to explore the nuances of Salvadoran production through a refined lens. When evaluating the cup, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific fruit-forward characteristics that emerge from this combination of varietal and process. This selection serves as a compelling example of how careful post-harvest handling can elevate the inherent qualities of a high-status coffee plant.
