Gesha is for lovers! As Valentine's Day approaches, we are thrilled to share the perfect gift for a coffee loving special someone or as an act of self love.

Our latest selection, an impeccable Gesha lot from producer Victor Bermudez, is an ideal choice for the occasion. This coffee features a delicate, floral, and immaculate flavor profile that truly stands out. It is a refined option for those who appreciate a clean and pristine tasting experience.

Victor’s story begins far from the coffee fields of San Adolfo. Born and raised in Pitalito, Victor studied law in Bogotá and practiced until 2020, when the pandemic disrupted his plans for a postgraduate degree in Sweden. Returning to his family’s farm, Finca Buenos Aires, what began as a temporary refuge soon became a full-time calling.

The farm was originally purchased by Victor’s grandfather, Enrique Motta, in 1970. Today, it is managed by Victor’s uncle, Jairo, an agronomist and community leader who has been instrumental in Victor’s development. Jairo provided Victor the space to experiment with new processes and varieties, allowing him to transform the property into a center for specialty coffee.

Finca Buenos Aires spans 13 hectares, with nine dedicated to coffee. The farm cultivates over 45,000 trees—including Castillo, Colombia, Gesha, Caturra Chiroso, Sidra, Arara, Maragesha, and Parainema—shaded by 5,000 pink cedar trees and banana plants. The team also maintains crops of plantain, cassava, and beans for local consumption.

Despite his background in law, Victor has applied a methodical approach to agriculture. Since 2022, he has completed SENA courses in roasting and cupping and earned an SCA Intermediate Sensory Analysis certification—an achievement he notes excited him more than graduating from law school.

For this Gesha lot, cherries are carefully harvested over three days. Victor combines the fresh harvest with cherries that began fermenting one and two days prior. The cherries are floated to remove defects, de-pulping follows, and the coffee is then submerged in water in sealed containers for a three-day fermentation. Finally, the coffee is washed twice and dried slowly over 15–20 days. Victor continues to refine his methods, using pH meters to ensure consistency. He adjusts fermentation times to highlight specific varietal characteristics, keeping fermentations short for the Gesha to preserve floral complexity.

This coffee is available in extremely limited quantities. Don't miss out on what we believe is one of the finest coffees we have ever tasted.
