Gesha - Anaerobic Washed - Finca La Estrella, Carlos Estrella

Highlights

“Carlos Estrella is a third-generation coffee producer based in the village of Buenos Aires in northern Nariño. At approximately 2,200 meters above sea level, La Estrella covers 9 hectares and contains about 20,000 coffee trees. Ripe cherries were hand-picked and selected by color, then washed and separated by density through flotation on the day of harvest. The whole cherries fermented for 72 hours in 200-liter plastic tanks without oxygen or light before being pulped without water. A second 12-hour fermentation followed in dry mucilage under the same oxygen-limited conditions; the coffee was then washed with potable water and sun-dried on patios for 22 days.”
