Behind Every Cup:
This is our first 'Gesha' Coffee, and it's an absolute cracker! Facing west toward the Cauca Valley and the central mountain range, El Fénix is an organic rare-variety coffee forest and post-harvest lab, experimenting and gathering data first-hand on new practical farming techniques and selective breeding programs. Hand-picked cherries are placed into a deep-cleaned fermentation tank, covered with a sheet, then submerged in cool water. It creates a vacuum effect on the coffee, and an anoxic environment for fermentation to occur over 48 hours. The water and sheet act as a sealant and a heat exchange, stabilised at around 25 degrees Celsius, before the coffee is dried in cherry on raised beds, turning every 30 minutes to ensure optimum airflow.
Available in 250G beans or ground in-house to your preference.
