This exceptional coffee from Mazelab Coffee, led by Jackie Tran, offers a truly unique flavor experience. The Colombian Gesha from the Cerro Azul farm presents a sophisticated combination of apricots, ripe forest fruits, and floral notes. Its sweetness is reminiscent of red fruit, and in the cup, it develops juicy acidity and a dense, jam-like texture, which is finished with a long-lasting aftertaste of violet flowers. This coffee is not just a drink – it's a sensory journey into the world of luxurious flavors.
The Cerro Azul farm, part of the iconic Granja La Esperanza, is known for its meticulous approach to growing high-quality coffee. Located in the Colombian Valle del Cauca, its ideal microclimate and altitude allow the Gesha variety to reach its maximum potential. The farm employs the latest processing techniques and is constantly seeking innovations to achieve the best flavor profiles. As a result, their coffee lots regularly receive global recognition.
This naturally processed Gesha underwent careful drying while still in the whole cherries, which enhances its rich sweetness and complexity. The long contact between the fruit and the bean results in the characteristic full texture and fruity intensity of the coffee. The entire process is carefully controlled to achieve the perfect balance between acidity, sweetness, and floral notes. The result is a coffee with a unique character, which stands out beautifully when prepared as filter coffee and will appeal to any lover of premium microlots.
