This Gesha variety is grown by Jesús Barahona and fermented anaerobically. Jesús is a fourth-generation coffee producer in Quindio, producing the most prominent varieties of the age. Expect elegant notes of white flower and mango, backed by a soft confectioner's sugar. As a third generation coffee farmer, Jesús Barahona has seen many changes across his 40 year stint in coffee production. Located in Vereda Andes Alto, his four hectare farm primarily has produced classic Colombian varieties for it’s entire lifespan, with Gesha and Pink Bourbon being planted recently. As is the case with many producers, planting exotic varieties and implementing alternative processing methods has given them a way to sell their top lots for more money. Jesús Barahona sought out higher prices by planting Gesha and fermenting it anaerobically. With his keen focus on agronomy and processing, his coffee quality improved drastically, giving him market access to sell his coffees for higher prices than before.
