Ten days at Los Nacederos in El Tambo, Cauca. We planted ten trees and dedicated them. We sat at a cupping table with the whole family and worked through the year's lots together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree years ago the Dulcey brothers put these Gesha trees in the ground themselves. This is the first harvest off that planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGesha is an Ethiopian seed the world met through Panama. Low yield, fragile, needs altitude. Most farms won't plant it because the math doesn't work unless you can grow it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dragon fruit, orange blossom honey, star fruit, rose. Purple wild berry on the dry fragrance, chocolate chips once it's wet. Figs and prunes at the break, brighter and sweeter. In the cup, Milky Way, blueberry, chocolate. Clean, with just enough funk underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe family picked the Pacamara as their favorite of the year. This one was mine.

A different one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the producer working in concert with the Creator. In the lab. In the studio.

They sell their own roasted coffee out of a shop in their own neighborhood in Popayán. Not to tourists. To their neighbors, at specialty prices, in a country where most growers still sell parchment to intermediaries for whatever the going rate is that week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey used last harvest to pull investment into the farm and clear their debt. Having done that, they decided to grow less coffee and make it better. That decision is why this lot exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn August 10th a 7.4 earthquake hit Colombia. Days later Cali suspended the 30th Petronio Álvarez, the biggest Black cultural festival in the country. Over 60 artists we're in community with lost their homes. This coffee comes from the same department those artists come from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cxffeeblack","offers":[{"title":"6 oz","offer_id":51711377211625,"sku":"CXB-COL-GESHA-6OZ","price":51.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1427\/3104\/files\/GeshaandPacamaraLabels.png?v=1788547961","url":"https:\/\/cxffeeblack.sbs\/en-ca\/products\/gesha-los-nacederos-el-tambo-cauca","provider":"Cxffeeblack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
