Don Francisco was the first producer to take Gesha seeds\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efrom Costa Rica into Panama actually (although it didn’t become famous until the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emid-2000s with the Peterson family). Gesha is a very delicate tree to grow, it\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erequires a lot of shade and also wind breakers, but does require high altitudes to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eproduce excellent cup profiles. In our experience, it’s the variety that is most\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esusceptible to being knocked over by wind. This is the reason we always make sure\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eto plant it in an area with lots of shade trees (guava trees in the case of Las\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDelicias) and wind breakers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatural Process\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Gesha was processed as a full natural. The natural process begins at the farm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eby only selecting optimally blood red, ripe cherries. These are floated and then\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecarefully transported to the dry mill where they are then spread as a thin layer on\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eplastic tarps. These cherries are carefully moved within their assigned space\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eapproximately three times a day. We always make sure we do not damage the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003echerry while they are moved.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt Don Esteban (dry mill) we do not dry on concrete patios. On the ground we\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eplace a thick layer of parchment which we then cover with a black colored\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epolymeric material net that allows air to pass between the ground and the coffee;\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eallowing a more even dry. This Gesha dried on the tarps for the first four days\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eunder 100% sunlight, in order to prevent over fermentation or mold growth. After\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethis it was transferred onto the Africans beds where it dried with 75% shade for an\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eadditional 31 days until it reaches a humidity range of 12% or below. Total drying\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etime for this lot was 35 days. Once dried, they are moved to our warehouse where\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethey will rest as dried cherries for a month to homogenize the humidity in the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebeans. After the month, we will mill the dried cherries. The “oro” or green beans\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewill then rest\/age for yet another month before we export it. This additional month\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eof resting will diminish the harsh notes that can be found in naturals and allow the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eflavors to balance out. This slow drying process will also extend the shelf life of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe beans as the embryo will be kept alive for as long as possible.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLas Delicias was Eleane Mierisch’s personal 12 hectare farm, and although young (estsablished 2016) it already is producing amazing coffees (even obtaining 4th place in COE 2017 with a Javanica Washed). It is the farm with the highest altitude in our origin of Nicaragua (1260-1400m), and it is reflected in the coffees coming from here due to their delicate and pronounced acidity that balances out perfectly with the sweetness of the Nicaraguan terroir. Las Delicias is one of three farms we have in the region of Jinotega, alongside San Jose and La Escondida, and it overlooks the manmade lake of Apanas. The high altitude and proximity to water create lower average temperatures during the day and night which allows the cherries to mature more slowly. The varietals grown on this farm are: Java, Gesha, Yellow Pacamara, Yellow Pacas, and Red Bourbon. The Coffees here are grown under the shade of Mandarin and Guava trees. The farm employs 12 people full-time which sweels seasonly to 80 people during the harvest season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDespite her recent passing, Eleane has left her farm in the care of her nephew,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eErwin III, and her business partner Geoconda Padilla, who will continue to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emaintain Eleane’s values alive through her farm and coffee. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"4oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":47023396782370,"sku":"Nic-Gesha-4","price":1306.91,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":47023396815138,"sku":"Nic-Gesha-4-AD","price":1306.91,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":47023396847906,"sku":"Nic-Gesha","price":3594.01,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":47023396880674,"sku":"Nic-Gesha-AD","price":3594.01,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/files\/DSCF9906.jpg?v=1698695171","url":"https:\/\/paradiseroasters.com\/en-tw\/products\/nicaragua-gesha-natural-finca-las-delicias","provider":"Paradise Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
