{"product_id":"cerro-azul-3","title":"Cerro Azul","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the twelfth year we have purchased Cerro Azul, a coffee several of our baristas have taken to the world stage, in both Barista and Brewer’s competitions. Cafe Granja are intimately familiar with the care and attention the Geisha plant needs, they were one of the first to bring it to Colombia, having previously owned a farm in Panama, the adopted home of this lauded varietal. This translates into their excellent work at the farm level; this coffee is a true representation of the potential of the Geisha varietal in Colombia. Clean acidity, intense and distinct flavours, and some incredible aromatics. Cerro Azul was chosen by the experts at Granja as a perfect location for the development of high quality Geisha cherries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe location of the farm is further southwest in the Cauca Valley than Potosí and Las Margaritas, closer to the state capital of Cali, and to Colombia’s Pacific coast. The cool breeze from the Pacific combined with the very high altitude mean that the trees have to fight low average temperatures and large day-night swings in temperatures to survive, concentrating energy into their cherries as sugar. This leads to a high level of both sweetness and intensity of flavour in the final cup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis incredible quality of raw material has to be treated with great care at each further stage, in order to preserve the potential created in the field. Luckily the team at Cafe Granja La Esperanza consistently take care of these stages of the process with aplomb. Geisha cherries from Cerro Azul are taken down the mountain to the La Esperanza farm to be de-pulped, before heading to mechanical driers for 48 hours, then completing drying slowly and evenly on raised beds over approximately 4 weeks. This lot maintains the crisp white Geisha florals, backed up by notes of rich apricot and oolong tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Cabra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44067542433858,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2464\/3811\/files\/F8A7DC4A-5469-4C74-B392-AEA2983D2ADC.webp?v=1784065875","url":"https:\/\/dayglow.coffee\/products\/cerro-azul-3","provider":"Dayglow Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
