Natural Gesha - Bolivia (150g)
Edwin Huanca farms at Finca Tuki Tuki in Calama, Caranavi, Bolivia — a farm he built together with his wife Cynthia, named after the toucans that accompanied them as they worked. He grew up in a coffee family; his parents came to Caranavi decades ago to cultivate coffee, and his eldest brother Marcial founded the cooperative Mejillones. Beyond growing, Edwin has made a name as a seed breeder in the region, and was among the first in Caranavi to cultivate Gesha, helping spread the variety locally.
The natural (dry) process involves drying whole coffee cherries with the fruit skin intact. After sorting for ripeness, the cherries are spread in thin layers on raised beds and turned regularly over two to four weeks. As the fruit slowly dries, sugars and aromatic compounds from the pulp are absorbed by the bean. The result is a cup with elevated sweetness, fuller body, and expressive fruit character. Careful monitoring throughout the drying phase is essential to prevent mold and ensure even, controlled development.
