ANDRÉS MARTINEZ - GESHA, DOUBLE FERMENT WASHED - COLOMBIA

WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THIS AMAZINGLY FLORAL AND VIBRANT GESHA FROM ANDRÉS MARTINEZ. FEATURING AN INNOVATIVE DOUBLE FERMENTATION BEFORE BEING WASHED, THIS COFFEE HAS VERY CRISP CHARACTER WITH CLEAR NOTES OF CITRUS AND PURPLE FLORALS. IN THE CUP, WE GET LILAC ON THE NOSE COMBINED WITH A PLESANT EARL GREY, ORANGE BLOSSOM FLAVOR PROFILE.

ANDRÉS AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE A REMARKABLE JOB OF PROCESSING THIS LOT TO EMPHASIZE CLARITY AND CLEAN FLAVORS, WITHOUT ANY EXCESSIVE SIGNS OF FERMENTATION OR FUNK. THIS IS A GREAT COFFEE FOR THOSE LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND HOW ADVANCED PROCESSING METHODS CAN BE UTILIZED FOR MORE CLASSIC CLEAN WASHED PROFILES.

HIS TEAM BEGINS BY HAND-PICKING AND SORTING RIPE CHERRIES, FERMENTING THEM IN-CHERRY FOR 18 HOURS BEFORE DEPULPING. THE DEPULPED COFFEE IS THEN LEFT TO FURTHER FERMENT FOR 12 HOURS, BEING STIRRED EVERY 3-4 HOURS TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY. THEY ARE THEN DRIED 2 DAYS BEFORE BEING REHYDRATED WITH ITS OWN JUICES FOR 24 HOURS, AFTER WHICH IT IS FINISHED WITH A FINAL WASHING PROCESS. LASTLY, THEY ARE DRIED ON SUN-BEDS FOR 3-4 WEEKS.
