Description
The Producer
Marlon Bolanos started in coffee at the young age of 17. Although he is so young, he is producing some of the most impressive coffee we have had coming out of Colombia. Along with his brothers, they became obsessed with planting differentiated varieties and refining fermentation.
The Process
Produced in small lots, this coffee undergoes a meticulous natural process. The cherries are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and fermented for just three days in tanks (technically anaerobic). Finally, the coffee is removed from fermentation and dried for 3-4 week on sun beds till it reaches 11% moisture.
The Coffee
This natural Gesha is a creamy, dessert-like coffee with a texture reminiscent of chocolate ganache. Due to the process and characteristics of the variety, its sweetness reminds us of sweet grapes and berries paired with a subtle floral complexity that makes the coffee a pleasure to drink.
