La Negrita Red Gesha

Summary

A competition-level Red Gesha from Finca La Negrita in Tolima, Colombia, produced by Mauricio Shattah. Grown at 2100 meters altitude, this Gesha variety undergoes a natural anaerobic fermentation process with added wine yeast, followed by 6-8 weeks of controlled drying in a dark room. The cup profile features notes of papaya, strawberry candy, blueberry, fig, ripe pineapple, jasmine, and rooibos, with lactic acidity and exceptional balance. Only 8 hectares of the farm are planted with coffee; the rest remains protected rainforest.
