Masterpiece - Finca el Recreo, Washed Geisha - Espresso
A standout coffee worth our time. Farmed in the black and beautiful soils of Cundinamarca by father and son, this washed Geisha lot is pure and elegant.
Duo, father and son, Diego and Fernando operate two farms two hours from the capital, Bogota. Growing mainly Geisha, Castillo, Bourbon and Tabi, all farmed well, the hurdle here is largely the drying time it takes to get the washed seeds down to an exportable moisture content. All coffee are dried on raised beds, sometimes out in the open, but usually within a housed room to protect the drying coffee from the elements. The cool climate of the area means that the coffee can regularly take up to two months to fully dry, which we think contributes the fantastic shelf live of the Finca el Recreo/Cafe Oropel green coffee we, Father Carpenter, have purchased these past few years.
