Datura - Finca Achirayuc Jose Gonzalez Gesha Washed

This one is not an SL9 variety but an authentic Gesha. The seeds were sourced directly from a Panamanian farm.Fully ripened cherries are picked and floated in water before pulping to remove any unripe or insect damaged cherries. The whole cherries are first pre-fermented in GrainPro bags under cool conditions for 48 hours, then depulped and placed into clean fermentation tanks, where they are left to ferment without water in their own mucilage.The cool climate keeps this process stable with shortened fermentation times of 24 to 36 hours. After fermentation the coffee is fully washed and laid to rest on raised drying beds.The coffee parchment is evenly turned 5 to 6 times a day in the cool climate at approximately 2200 meters above sea level. Drying in this altitude takes from 10 to 12 days to reach a stable moisture level of 10 to 11.5 percent.
