Colombia Maximino Guitierrez Tejada GeshaGesha (Geisha)A rare, jasmine-and-bergamot scented variety originally from Ethiopia's Gesha forest, made famous by Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda. Routinely the most expensive coffee at auction. WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Filter - Single OriginSingle originCoffee from one traceable place — a country at the loosest, a single farm or lot at the strictest — rather than a blend of sources.. Maximino Gutierrez’s life in coffee began with his father, from whom he learnt both his craft and his passion. Raised in a traditional family in Rioblanco, Maximino spent his early years helping on the farm wherever he could. Rioblanco is known for its turbulent past, which forced many families to abandon their land. For Maximino, staying and continuing in coffee was not without its challenges, but his commitment to the land persisted. Maximino remains deeply motivated by the constant learning that coffee offers. He values the exchange of knowledge with others in the industry, always seeking to refine his practices and improve quality. He is dedicated to passing on his experience to the next generation; his sons. His pursuit of quality has already been recognised in the Cup of ExcellenceCup of Excellence (COE)A national competition and auction that identifies a country's best lots each year; winning 'COE' lots command dramatic price premiums.. This achievement continues to drive him to push further, with a clear goal of producing even higher quality lots year after year. PROCESS: W REGION: P ELEVATION: 2 VARIETAL: S CUP: L ROAST: F
