Gesha

€13,50

Antonio Medina is an elegant and intensely aromatic Gesha with layers of floral sweetness and bright fruit. Expect notes of jasmine, stone fruit, citrus, and a silky sweetness that becomes more expressive as the cup cools. A common reaction: “I didn’t know coffee could be this delicate and complex!”

This comes from the celebrated Gesha varietal grown by Antonio Medina at 1,700 meters in Antigua, Guatemala. The ripest cherries are carefully picked and delivered to the wet mill the same day, where they undergo a slow 32-hour dry fermentation before being washed and patio-dried for 10 days. Every step is carefully controlled to preserve the delicate character of this exceptional lot.

We roast Antonio Medina in small batches to bring out its floral aromatics, vibrant fruit, and clean, sweet finish. Available in 1kg, 250g and 100g bags.

Origin

Antonio Medina’s farm is located in the highlands of Antigua, Guatemala, at 1,700 meters above sea level. Antonio inherited the land from his father, who divided the family farm among his children. What
began as a small plot for growing corn and beans eventually became Antonio’s lifelong dream: a coffee farm.

Antonio planted his first coffee tree in 1991 after years of working on different coffee farms and learning the craft. More than 25 years later, his perseverance has paid off, with Gesha becoming one of the most celebrated coffees grown on his farm.

This special lot is carefully picked at peak maturity and transported to the wet mill the same day. The cherries are depulped and undergo a slow, 32-hour dry fermentation before being carefully washed. The coffee is then dried naturally on the patio for 10 days, turned frequently to ensure even drying.

For Antonio, this coffee represents more than a celebrated variety. It is the result of decades of patience, experience, and dedication to the dream he started more than 30 years ago.
