A Gesha shaped by patience rather than intervention. Tea-like, bright, and quietly composed.

Grown by Juan Camilo Rengifo at Laboyani farm in Pitalito, Huila, this lot sits at 1,600 meters above sea level, where cool nights and slow cherry maturation give the Gesha variety room to develop its full aromatic range before harvest begins.

The process is straightforward by design. Cherries are fermented, pulped, and washed, removing the fruit entirely before drying begins. That choice is intentional. Without the fruit influencing the cup through extended contact, what remains is the coffee itself: clean, transparent, and easy to read. The washed process doesn't strip Gesha of its character; it clarifies it, letting the variety's natural florals and delicate structure come through without interference.

In the cup, clementine leads with a soft, rounded citrus brightness that never tips into sharpness. Lady Grey tea follows, bringing that distinctive bergamot-meets-black-tea quality that makes this variety so distinctive when handled well. Honey sweetness holds everything together, keeping the finish smooth and lingering rather than dry. The body stays light and tea-like throughout, and the overall impression is one of quiet elegance rather than overt complexity.

Why We Chose This Coffee

We chose this lot because it shows what Gesha looks like when the process steps aside and lets the variety speak. Juan Camilo's approach to the washed process is restrained and deliberate, and the cup reflects exactly that.

What stood out is the tea's character. The Lady Grey quality isn't something you encounter often in washed Colombian Gesha, and the way it sits alongside clementine and honey without dominating makes this a cup that rewards slowing down with it.
