Tasting notes

This is the green, unroasted version of our Finca La Roca IV . Prodigal menu champion Jorge Rojas brings us this gorgeous, white-honeyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural. geishaGesha (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.. The white-honey process leaves very little fruit in contact with the parchment layer, lending just the right amount of coffee-cherry goodness to ripen up the fruit flavors. We tasted a beautiful combo of peach, orange blossom, and mango. This coffee went to our Monthly Subscribers first and just a couple bags remain from that roast, rested and ready to ship! We also have just a tiny bit available as green coffeeGreen coffeeUnroasted coffee seeds as they are traded and shipped. Roasters buy green and roast locally; 'green buying' is the sourcing side of the craft. for home roasters too! Jorge grew this geisha at his farm, Finca La Roca, a 7-hectare certified organic farm. This coffee was floated to remove defects, then fermented for 48 hours. Depulping left a tiny amount of fruit in contact with the seed — the white honey process. It then dried for 14 days and then we rushed it to Prodigal to preserve quality.
