Guatemala San Andres Gesha

Description

Region: Esquipulas, Chiquimula
Varietal: Gesha
Process: Fully Washed

During the harvest, after the cherries are carefully hand-selected, they are delivered to the mill located on-site. This lot specifically comprises Gesha from the San Andres area of the farm.

Once at the mill, the coffee is pulped immediately to remove the external fruit using machines. Fermentation follows, whereby the coffee sits in piles to break down the remaining mucilage for 8–12 hours. The coffee is then washed through channels to clean away any remaining mucilage.

After washing, the coffee is sorted and dispersed on patios to dry in the open sun for 12 hours. To finish the drying process, the coffee is placed into guardiolas (machine dryers) to efficiently complete drying.
