Please note: this coffee was roasted the last week of January. It went missing in transit to us and we finally got our hands on it in time for the March shipment. As a very light roast, it’s now well rested and tasting amazing — and should be consumed soon.

More info
Pepe has inspired the world of Specialty coffee with his life-affirming farm, Soledad. Of his greatest hits, the Gesha. This year's harvest of his Gesha is full bodied with ripe stone fruit. The profile is long with tropical juice notations like mangosteen, kumquat, kiwano melon & citrus. There is a silky and round feel to this cup with an elegant florality. This coffee is so clean, making it easy to appreciate this terroir focused iteration of Gesha. Thank you Pepe & the Finca Soledad Team for sharing the hard work with us!
