About This Coffee
This gesha comes from Granja Paraíso 92, a hyper-innovative farm run by Wilton Benitez in the hills of Piendamó, Cauca — an area rich with volcanic soil and the kind of sunlight swings that build sugars and complexity in every cherry. Wilton’s coffees are famous for their precision: from UV-light sanitization of cherries to stainless-steel anaerobic bioreactors that control every fermentation curve.
The cherries are sterilized with ultraviolet light to remove microorganisms. They ferment in tanks for 52 hours, allowing sugars to transform and build complexity. After fermentation, the beans are dried at a constant 38 °C for 46 hours. This controlled process preserves clarity, delicate aromas, and the clean expression of Gesha.
Gesha is known for its floral aroma, tea-like body, and complex sweetness. When roasted lightly and brewed well, Gesha tends to express notes of jasmine, bergamot, fruit, citrus, and honey. Bright yet delicate, clean yet layered.
Unlike most coffees, Gesha’s flavour clarity and silky texture make it feel more like a tea than a traditional coffee. It’s known for its high elevation growing conditions, low yield, and meticulous processing, which together contribute to both its rarity and its premium reputation.
About Granja Paraíso 92
Founded by Wilton Benitez, Granja Paraíso 92 is a laboratory-driven coffee farm that merges microbiology, fermentation science, and sustainability. Every piece of equipment on the farm — from the bioreactors to the mechanical dryers — was designed and assembled by Wilton himself, powered by electric energy only, avoiding fossil fuels entirely.
The team grows multiple varieties including Bourbon, Tabi, Gesha, and Caturra, cultivated on volcanic soils near the Puracé Volcano, and processed in small, meticulously controlled batches. Each step is logged for temperature, pH, Brix, and conductivity to ensure consistent, expressive flavor development.
