Colombia - Wilder Lazo / TROPICAL GESHA
Passion Fruit, Levander, Coffee Blossom
Wilder Lazo is a talented coffee farmer in Huila, Colombia who focuses a lot on developing new techniques and processes. At his first Geisha Microlot he cupped the coffees by physical character: larger “typical” Geisha beans, smaller shaped beans and trees with different leaf shapes. He took seeds from only the bigger ones and found out, that their taste is more floral and lemongrassy. The smallest Geisha beans had more vanilla-driven sweet flavors and the ones in between were the fruitiest one. So, what he did is specializing every year more his microlots and planted seeds of his favorite coffee bushes in the new farm: Bella Alejandría. What you are holding in your hands is basically result of bio engineering paired with coffee-love.

Coffee is submerged in plastic tanks with other Gesha and SL28 lots for seven days while pH is monitored to stay above 5. The cherries are then rinsed and dried on patios for about 25 days. Like all of Wilder’s meticulous processing, this lot highlights both variety and fermentation: floral coffee blossom and clean cup its Gesha character, while creaminess and tropical notes of passion fruit, pineapple with a red stone-fruit hint of black cherry reflect the natural process.
