Colombia El Praiso Geisha Washed
A sweet and juicy flavour reminiscent of mandarin orange.
Geisha-like jasmine scent. Clear aftertaste.
<Store owner's comment>
This is a traditional washed Geisha made by El Paraiso. It is a classic coffee that doesn't have the El Paraiso feel of a lychee lot.

<Purification method>
1. Selecting ripe cherries:
Geisha cherries are carefully picked one by one at the perfect physiological ripeness when sugar content is at its highest, which is important to maintain sweetness and flavor consistency.
2. Ozone sterilization treatment:
By performing ozone treatment before fermentation, we ensure a hygienic environment free of germs.
3. Anaerobic fermentation:
Immediately after harvest, the pulp is removed and the fruit is fermented in an oxygen-free environment for 24 to 36 hours, where lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus) are added to bring out the smooth, sweet flavor.
4. Two-step hot and cold cleaning:
First, it is soaked in 48°C hot water, followed by a soak in 4°C cold water to lock in the delicate fragrance components.
5. Low temperature dehumidification drying:
The material is dried evenly and controlled in a dehumidifier for 30 to 40 hours to achieve the ideal moisture level.
6. Stabilization and deshelling:
Finally, store it in a cool, consistent temperature environment to maintain its quality and freshness for longer.
＜Story＞
This Geisha is grown on the El Paraiso estate and embodies the charm of the region's unique natural conditions: its humid climate, volcanic soil and diverse ecosystems. The result is a coffee with sophisticated floral aromas and a juicy, complex acidity reminiscent of sweet citrus fruits. A carefully controlled process allows the unique character of this land to be expressed elegantly and cleanly.
Geisha varieties that have adapted to the Cauca region are characterized by their delicate, citrus-infused flavor. This characteristic is nurtured by abundant rainfall throughout the year, the climatic conditions, altitude, and soil (terroir), which maximize the potential of this variety.

(Example) Salaries paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as clerical work ⑤ Direct expenses:
An expense that directly determines how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Expenses incurred when outsourcing some of the manufacturing-related processing, such as putting roasted beans into bags, to an external company. 6. Indirect expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly measured in terms of how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
