Exciting one! These semi-washed Gesha coffee beans roasted by Red Bank have an unrivalled complexity- sharp raspberry flavour, smooth and creamy mouthfeel and white tea floral finish and aroma.

Though Ethiopian in origin, the Gesha varietal thrives on farms like El Encanto in Costa Rica, where the soil, altitude and climate are just right for growing this prized but vulnerable varietal. El Encanto is a farm near Cotey de Dota in the renowned coffee region of Tarrazú owned by Ignicio and Rolanda Fonseca, who are members of the Coope Dota cooperative.

The cherries are picked at optimum ripeness and taken to Coope Dota’s processing facility to be processed. They are fermented in the cherry for a day then mechanically pulped to remove around 75% of the fruit. A secondary 16-18 hour fermentation takes place before the coffee is washed and dried.

We recommend brewing this special coffee with handbrew filter methods such as Kalita or V60.
