This past harvest has truly brought us some of the best coffees we've ever had, and this fruit bomb from Marlon Bolaños's project \"The Three Coffee Farmers\" is amongst the best of them. Despite growing up in a coffee producing family, it wasn't until the age of 17 that Marlon took an interest in it, signing himself up for a Barista education course at SENA where he learned brewing, green coffee grading, and sensory analysis. Upon returning from that course, Marlon began planting differentiated varietals like pink bourbon, gesha, and chiroso while experimenting with new fermentation techniques on each subsequent harvest. Flash forward to today, and the farm is now owned by Marlon and his 2 brothers, Pedro and Hemerson. Marlon is responsible for quality control, fermentation protocols, sampling and part of the logistics operations. Marlon has also competed and won in several barista and brewing competitions over the last several years, taking spring water from his family's farm for brewing. It's especially suited for coffee due to the natural trace mineral composition, and now coveted by peers after earning the name \"Champion's Water.\" This specific washed gesha lot has quite an interesting process to it, having been submerged in cherry underwater for 48 hours before being drained, left in the same barrels dry to further ferment naturally for 48 hours before being fully washed and dried on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis advanced processing creates an extremely unique cup, bursting with yellow florals, yellow fig, starfruit, mango and a complex citrus note that reminds us of grapefruit and pomelo. The intense juiciness and acidity here absolutely leapt off the cupping table and we confirmed our forward contract after the first sip. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSource: Unblended\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shoebox Coffee","offers":[{"title":"125 gr","offer_id":58323031458166,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9163\/6342\/files\/Shoebox_Coffee_-_Marlon_Bolanos_Gesha_-_Washed_-_Colombia.webp?v=1784800129","url":"https:\/\/kultivarcoffee.com\/products\/marlon-bolanos-gesha-washed-colombia","provider":"Kultivar Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
