Colombia - Yoiner Mosquera's Gesha

Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

LONDON COFFEE FESTIVAL FEATURE RELEASE: We had Marisela's Gesha and her Rosado with the last season of purchases from LaREB, and both were utterly delightful. Last year, she's passed on her Rosado plot at El Portal to her nephew Yoiner, as she focuses on higher value, smaller lots as she gets closer to retirement. In an interesting sense of the matter, we continued the purchasing relationship with the land instead of the producer, and we welcomed Yoiner to the Scenery lineup with open arms. His Rosado lot reminded us of an Ethiopian washed - and with this anoxic natty Gesha from his main farm, Belen, we were really reminded an Ethiopian natural. We think it's a stunner and supremely fun to taste alongside the Etiopes "Heirloom" lot and Megadu "Static Cherry". Brew Guide: Best Brewed with: Filter Lightest Roaster Influence: We slightly slowed this roast down, to keep it clean alongside a lower end temp - it's an insanely light roast and benefits from extra rest. Best Rested: 5+ weeks Filter: 64g/L, 92°C when fresh but when well rested you can go down to 88°C Espresso: 18g/50g/18s-22s - turbo shots & soup We’re tasting: Raspberry jam aromatics alongside lavender and honeysuckle. In the cup it's straight blueberry jam, with tropical notes of soursop, papaya and ripe guava, alongside lemon zest and a hint of coriander seed, super juicy and long. As it cools the florals become more defined, and the blueberry note persists hot to cold. Traceability Country of Origin: Colombia Region: El Portal, Palestina, Huila Producer: Yoiner Mosquera Farm: Belen Variety: Gesha Elevation: 1600 MASL Process: Anoxic Natural: Picking very ripe to overripe cherries, with a 12 hour hold in cherry prior to placing in sealed barrels for a 60 hr fermentation in an anoxic environment.

Second harvest purchasing from Yoiner The Story With thanks to Herbert and Matcha from LaREB for providing the deep background information for this coffee. LaReb - La Real Expedición Botánica - are a radical producer-owned export co-operative/movement. Their goal is to develop de-colonised supply chains and operate outside the typical multinational pathways of coffee, and it's a mission that's really resonated with us. By pooling together collective knowledge, financing, quality, export and import, LaReb members are able to define their own terms of engagemen
