Full Cupping Notes
So far as Gesha goes, this wet process coffee from Guardian del Bosque farm brings a light floral overlay to softly rounded sweetness, accented by hints of fruit, and the aromatic bittering of green herbs. The fragrance at City roast level smelled quite nice, with sweet notes of raw sugar and honey, laced with fresh herbs, and floral dried potpourri. Fruit aspects are pulled to the front a bit in the wet aroma, with suggestions of pear and apple, along with a light jasmine note. For brewing, I highly recommend sticking to a light roast, no darker than City+. Gesha coffee is know for its floral character, and dark roasts threaten to obfuscate that element. City roast level was perfect for me, satisfying sweetness relative to the cup profile, contrasted by soft aromatic highlights. The sweetness has an aspect of simple syrup, with a fragrant note of Pink Lady apple, and a dried orange peel note that livened up the perceived acidity. Floral notes may be faint, but are distinctly jasmine, fading to aromatic herbals aspects of lemongrass and green tea as the coffee cools. The aftertaste has some pleasant bittering notes at the tip of your tongue, pointing to green herbs like lemon balm, and blackberry leaf.

Origin & Farm Notes
"Guardian del Bosque" is the name of the farm owned by Ronal Carranza Montenegro. His 11.5 hectare farm sits at 1600 meters above sea level, and is planted in several different coffee varieties, including Gesha. Ronal is a longtime member of a local coffee cooperative, Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco El Palto ("JUMARP"), whose work involves provide technical assistance at the farm level, like post harvest processing best practices, and improvements to processing environment and drying space. The coop have also helped this group achieve organic and fair trade certifications, which insures a premium price is paid for their coffee. Ronal plays around with different process methods, and this year we bought wet process, honey process, and dry process versions of his Gesha coffee. Each process brings its own unique flavors, with this one offering clean, succinct flavors, with light aromatic hightlights of florals, fruits, and green herbs.
