Colombia La Bohemia Gesha Washed Filter - Single Origin

by Code Black

Colombia La Bohemia Gesha Washed Filter - Single Origin. This microlot is from Raquel Lasso, owner and operator of Finca La Bohemia. Raquel is part of a group of smallholders who live around the small municipality of La Unión in Nariño, where the terrain differs greatly from in other coffee-growing areas like Cauca; instead of walking up from the town to farm land, here the towns are at such high elevation that the growing areas are typically lower elevation, surrounded by high peaks. The farmers pick their coffee during the day and de-pulp it in the afternoon, typically fermenting the lots for 16–24 hours dry. The coffees are generally washed two or three times before being dried either in small “casa elbas,” mechanical dryers, or parabolic dryers. The mechanical drying takes between 25–40 hours, while the other drying structures can take up to 15 days.
