Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.

Processing

Gold Grand Cru is Monteblanco’s name for a washed preparation with staged fermentation before and after depulping, including a low-oxygen stage. The coffee is washed before drying. Separating the stages allows the producer to manage fermentation while retaining the structure of a washed coffee.
