La Terraza Gesha - Las Aguilas, Columbia
Introducing our newest 93 point offering, La Terraza Gesha, from Las Aguilas, Colombia—a shining example of why Gesha coffee has taken the world by storm. Originally from the forests of Ethiopia, Gesha has become one of the most sought-after coffee varieties globally, celebrated for its distinct and unparalleled flavor profile. However, sourcing high-quality Gesha is no easy feat. This variety is notoriously difficult to cultivate, requiring specific high-altitude microclimates and meticulous care during harvesting and processing. The challenges don’t end there—Gesha trees yield less fruit than other coffee varieties, making each harvest rare and highly coveted.
Origin - The rise of Gesha to global prominence is a testament to its extraordinary qualities. Despite its challenges, the rewards of cultivating Gesha are clear: a coffee that is a true symbol of excellence. Its distinctive floral and fruity notes have made it a standout in the world of specialty coffee, where it commands a premium price and a dedicated following. La Terraza Gesha is no exception, embodying everything that makes this variety so extraordinary.
Experience - This lot of La Terraza Gesha truly delivers on the promise of the variety. Upon grinding, it releases a symphony of floral, fruity, and tropical notes, with hints of jasmine and a playful touch reminiscent of fruit loops cereal. Pouring hot water intensifies these aromas, bringing forth perfumed notes of apricot, tropical jelly, and pink bubblegum—captivating and delightful.
As the coffee cools, our City roast reveals even more complexity, with flavors of strawberry taffy, red fruit punch, and green Galia melon. The floral characteristics, reminiscent of sweet rose and gardenia flowers, persist from start to finish, adding layers of nuance. The substantial body of this coffee enhances the overall fruit impressions, while its bright, mouth-refreshing acidity circles back to the juicy fruit notes that define the cup.
Brewing Recommendations - To fully appreciate the complexity of La Terraza Gesha, we recommend brewing it using a pour-over method, such as a V60 or Chemex, which will highlight its intricate floral and fruity notes. Use water just off the boil (around 200°F or 93°C) and a medium-fine grind to achieve the best balance between body and acidity. For those who enjoy espresso, La Terraza Gesha also shines with this preparation, where its bright acidity and complex flavors can be fully appreciated. Allow the coffee to cool slightly before sipping to experience the full spectrum of flavors it has to offer.
