Policarpo Yossa Rojos • Colombia • Gesha
Policarpo Yossa Rojos is the name of the farmer who owns Finca Buones Aires in Colombia. He specializes in varieties like gesha, pink bourbon, tabi and maragogype, coffee plants that usually recieve higher scores and sell at higher prices in the specialty market.
Policarpo has a good eye for quality and maintains good routines on his farm, ensuring that only the ripe cherries are picked and sent for processing. The cherries are floated to separate the high and low quality fruits, and then allowed to rest as whole cherries for 42 hours after picking. They are then depulped and wet fermented for 72 hours to remove mucilage. Once fermentation and washing is complete the coffee is dried on raised beds for 18-22 days.
This is a very delicate and old-school gesha, so we recommend enjoying it through the full spectrum of temperatures from hot all the way down to room temperature to explore all the nuances it offers.
