From the producer

Edin Lopez tends a one-hectare main farm beginning around 1,400 m and a smaller variety garden at 1,600 m. This Gesha comes from the variety garden. He delivers coffee to Beneficio San Vicente.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee presents this Gesha as an exceptional, limited-release offering that showcases the high-quality potential of coffee grown in the Santa Bárbara highlands.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This small Gesha lot combines a washed profile with reduced-oxygen barrel fermentation, preserving clarity while building layered fruit and floral character.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Anoxic fermentation

The coffee fermented without added water in clean plastic barrels to limit ambient oxygen.

02
Washed

After fermentation, the coffee was depulped and washed at a neighboring relative's wet mill.

03
Raised-platform drying

Edin brought the coffee home to dry on raised, covered platforms.

What was added?

No fruit, flavorings, water during fermentation, or external ingredients are documented as added.

What wasn't added?

Melon, berry, peach, lime, jasmine, and caramel are tasting notes, not additives.

Why it matters

Restricting ambient oxygen changes which microbes can thrive, while washing and controlled platform drying support clarity.

What you might taste

Melon, strawberry, blackberry, peach, lime, jasmine, and caramel.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
