Cerro Azul Gesha Hybrid Washed

Summary

Cerro Azul Gesha Hybrid Washed is a single-origin coffee from Colombia, produced by Rigoberto Herrera at Granja La Esperanza's Cerro Azul farm in Valle del Cauca. This Gesha variety undergoes a hybrid two-stage fermentation process: whole cherries ferment for 19-22 hours, then the skin is removed for a second fermentation in parchment and mucilage for 35 hours, followed by silo and solar drying. The cup offers aromas of strawberry jam, cherry blossom, and Swiss chocolate, with a nectar-like body and notes of dehydrated strawberry, Rooibos tea, nougat, cherry, red grapefruit, and marzipan.
