We all have a responsibility right now to adhere to the movement restrictions implemented  by our respective governments and preserve public safety. While it's non negotiable that we follow these it's also unavoidable that staying at home can get a little dull.

That's why we decided to liven things up with this juicy, sticky and jammy double fermented natural yellow geisha from Newerly Giraldo at Finca Monteverde in Rio Blanco. We'd originally sourced this and saved it for barista/ brewers competitions  but now agree it would be put to better use brightening up some kitchens!

Farmer — Newerly Giraldo
Farm  — Finca Monteverde
Region — Rio Blanco, Tolima, Colombia
Varietal — Geisha

Only maximum ripe cherries are selected using a refractometer and Brix to sort ripeness. This lot then undergoes a two-stage fermentation process. In phase one temperature is controlled and anaerobic fermentation promoted for 40 hours. In phase two the fermentation is allowed to continue aerobically and in controlled temperature for a further 60 hours. 

Cherries are then dried on raised African beds until a moisture content of 11% is reached. We find this creates a clean but exceptionally sweet and sticky cup with complex and fruit forward wine gum-esque body.
