This coffee comes from Colombia, in the Huila region, more precisely from Pitalito — an area renowned for producing exceptional specialty coffee thanks to its high altitude and ideal climate conditions. Finca Los Lagos covers 6 hectares at 1,720 meters above sea level and is managed by Vladimir Loming Burgos, a young producer strongly focused on innovation and continuous improvement.

Over the years, the farm has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from traditional production methods to a modern approach centered on research, sustainability, and experimentation.

What makes this coffee especially distinctive is its processing method: a washed coffee with extended fermentation. This advanced technique involves approximately 60 hours of cherry fermentation followed by around 200 hours in mucilage. Compared to traditional washed processes, this significantly longer fermentation develops a richer and more complex flavor profile while preserving exceptional cup clarity through the final washing stage.

The result is an incredibly expressive cup, characterized by notes of red fruits, strawberry, apple, and peach, with an intense yet balanced structure. The prolonged fermentation enhances the fruity character and aromatic depth without compromising the cleanliness of the profile.

This lot also received major recognition by winning the Taza Platino producers competition — a concrete confirmation of its outstanding quality. Making this achievement even more meaningful is the fact that we also took part in the evaluation process as judges, directly contributing to the final selection.

In summary, this Gesha represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation: a coffee rooted in a classic washed foundation, reinterpreted through extended fermentations to create a modern, distinctive, and premium profile.
