This semi-washed anaerobic process enhances the coffee’s vibrant floral and citrus complexity. After being carefully hand-sorted and depulped, the cherries undergo a 140-hour anaerobic fermentation in GrainPro bags, allowing the natural sweetness and acidity to intensify. The process continues with a second fermentation in plastic tanks for two days, followed by an 18-day drying period under the sun. During this stage, tangerine peel is added to the parchment, infusing the beans with a bright, citrusy twist. Finally, the coffee is stabilized in GrainPro bags for 25 days, ensuring a refined and fully developed flavor.
A delicate and complex cup with sweet aromatics and floral highlights, balanced by bright citric acidity and subtle notes of green tea, lemongrass, and orange zest. Its elegant structure and lively profile make Gesha Zest a perfect choice for those who appreciate refined, innovative coffees.
