The legends of Colombian treasure have captured the imagination of generations of treasure hunters. The real currency, or "La Divisa" here resides within people like Sebastian Gomez; a producer who constantly focuses on creating value. Sebastian's currency is his constant tinkering, driven by a strong desire to learn.
He added this Gesha to his farm six years ago and this is his third harvest. His steady hand shows here just as with his pink bourbons, this is one of the sweetest Geshas we've tried to date!
We taste notes of Maraschino Cherry, Apricot, and Elegant Florals.

It drains very quickly so don’t be surprised if your brew time is on the lower end of our parameters (most likely it will be around 2:30 - 3:00). An indicator of a well extracted cup is a long, mouth watering, vibrant finish. I was getting loads of ripe mango, dark chocolate, vibrant peach, and florals in my brews.
Well-dialed cups of Aril highlight the unique fermentation and processing combination of this Panamanian gesha. With an extended Carbonic Maceration combined with a washed finish, you’ll find this coffee to be exceptionally bright and lively compared to more delicate expressions of gesha. The result is a flavor profile of ripe tropical fruit like pineapple and mango, with some strawberry-like sweetness. You should expect a crisp, clear expression of fruit flavor rather than a syrupy or heavy-bodied one. The brightness and clarity in the cup also allows the floral and slightly citric notes to shine all the way through to the aftertaste.
Los Bellotos Bernardina are defined by their rich sweetness and creamy texture. There’s also a unique and pleasant contrast between the upfront flavor profile and the finish. At the front, you’ll notice more fruit-forward notes of concord grape, kiwi, and green apple – sweetness and malic acidity pairing well together. Towards the end and into the aftertaste, the flavors transition to more caramel, cola, and hazelnut-like notes.
