This is a phenomenal and floral Geisha from our friend, Wilder Lasso (Lazo). We are excited to share another lot from his farm, Bella Alejandria. In the cup we get notes of lavender, bergamot, and jasmine.
Wilder Lasso (or Lazo) is actually a veterinarian specialized in livestock farming. As the coffee price continued to decline in 2016 and his father fell seriously ill, he decided to bring the family farm up to speed together with his brother. Initially, their coffees scored between 80-83 points on the cupping scale, despite elaborate processes and preparations. Wilder started examining soil samples and using targeted nutrients and fertilizers to neutralize the pH value, thereby increasing the availability of nutrients for the coffee trees. He refers to this as precision agriculture.
To ensure optimal results, the coffee trees are first provided with nutrient-rich soil. Fully ripe and exceptionally large cherries are harvested and washed in water tanks to remove impurities and floating beans. Wilder chose the phenotype of tree that yielded strong natural tasting notes of lemongrass and jasmine. This Geisha lot spends 36 hours fermenting in mucilage before washing and drying on marquesinas for 12 days.
