Wilton Benitez - Geisha
Wilton Benitez - Geisha
Advanced Processing, Washed · Cauca, Colombia Natural
Lot data: Gesha • 1,900 m.a.s.l. • Washed, advanced process • Cauca, Colombia
This Gesha from Granja Paraíso 92 in Cauca, produced by Wilton Benitez, stood out for its citrus precision, layered structure, and distinctly modern profile. It is bright and expressive, but more complex and processed than a classic washed Gesha.
An advanced washed process combines sterilisation, brief thermal shock, controlled anaerobic fermentation, and low-temperature drying. The result is a cup with more aromatic lift and flavour definition, without losing clarity.
Expect tangerine and orange first, with sage adding a herbal edge and plum bringing darker fruit depth. The profile is vivid and structured, with refined acidity and a long, clean finish.
