Gesha Beans
Current Coffee
Salazar Washed Gesha, Colombia
A refined Colombian Gesha with bright florals, a light, juicy body, and a long, tea-like finish. Silky and clean, this coffee showcases the elegance of a classic Gesha profile.
This coffee is a great example of the connections that shape its journey from farm to roastery. It was produced by Luz Helena Salazar, the mother of Cofinet’s co-founders—a Colombian exporter specialising in high-quality coffee. Our own link to Cofinet runs deep as well; Beth Williams, our former Head of Coffee, now leads their UK branch. It was through her that we first tasted this lot, when she sent us samples that immediately stood out.
Luz has been producing coffee for over 20 years. The inspiration to begin her adventure in coffee came from her husband, Jairo Arcila, who had long worked in the coffee industry; she was drawn to the idea of cultivating something exceptional herself. At first, there were challenges, for instance, insects threatened the trees. Early on, she leaned on Jairo’s experience to find solutions, but with time, she developed her own instincts, learning to read the land, anticipate problems, and make decisions that would improve not just yield, but also quality. Harvesting became a precise process, with careful selection ensuring perfectly ripe cherries were developed and picked.
