Lemon Zest & Rainbow Sherbet
Bright and fruity natural Gesha from Milton Monroy!
This coffee comes from Milton Monroy and his farm, San Pedro, in Ibagué, Tolima, in Colombia. The team hand-picks the ripest coffee cherries. The cherries are then rinsed, sorted, and fermented anaerobically for 84 hours in 60kg tanks. The tanks are shaken every 12 hours to ensure an even distribution of flavors. The cherries are placed in mechanical dryers for 6 to 8 hours, where centrifuging helps remove moisture, before being placed on canopies to dry in the sun to a moisture content of 11%. The coffee is then stabilized in a dark room for 5 days. The beans are then stored in GrainPro bags for 45 days to ensure consistency and preserve freshness before milling. The result is an elegant, complex, and super-chuggable cup with flavors that remind us of lemon zest, strawberry, violet, papaya, and rainbow sherbet.
We recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
