Context

The Ivan Gutierrez Gesha, produced by Ivan Gutierrez in the Quebrada Grande area of Tarrazu, Costa Rica, represents a meticulous approach to coffee cultivation. Sourced by Passenger Coffee, this 2023 harvest highlights the specific terroir of Costa Rica · Tarrazu, Quebrada Grande. The coffee is composed entirely of the Gesha varietal, a plant famously prized in the specialty industry for its distinct floral aromatics and tea-like clarity.

To preserve the inherent characteristics of the cherry, this lot underwent a washed processing method. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavier fruit profiles, washed coffees typically emphasize the acidity and structural elegance of the bean. When evaluating the nuances of such a refined selection, tasters often consult the flavor wheel to identify the subtle complexities that emerge from the interplay between the high-quality varietal and the precise post-harvest handling employed by the producer.
