From Finca El Morito in Mataquescuintla, Jalapa, Guatemala, this Gesha varietal is a refined expression of one of the most celebrated and elusive coffees in the world. Produced by José Roberto Monterroso Pineda, El Morito is known for exceptional, competition-level lots that highlight clarity, elegance, and careful processing.

Gesha is a rare and highly prized varietal, originally traced to Ethiopia and later made famous in Central America for its extraordinary cup quality. Unlike more common coffee varieties, Gesha is often recognized for its delicate structure, perfumed aromatics, and remarkable transparency in the cup. When grown with care, it can reveal layers of florals, citrus, stone fruit, and tea-like sweetness — qualities that have made it one of the most sought-after varietals in specialty coffee.

This lot is processed anaerobic washed, a method that combines controlled fermentation with the precision of a washed finish. The anaerobic stage builds aromatic intensity, fruit depth, and a rounder texture, while the washed process preserves clarity, balance, and a clean, luminous finish.

In the cup, expect Mirabelle plum, citrus rind, and white peach — bright, fragrant, and quietly complex. It has the elegance of a washed Gesha, with just enough fermentation-driven depth to give the cup texture and intrigue without overwhelming its clarity.

A beautiful choice for pour over or cupping, this Guatemalan Gesha is for those who taste with intention.
