Colombia Linarco Rodriguez Red Geisha - Washed

cherry • strawberry jam • honey

Ships within 1 week after roast date 
Prodigal's coffee beans are at their peak 2 to 3 weeks after roasting

This is Prodigal's first offering from famed Cup of Excellence winning producer Linarco Rodriguez. We love the resonant red fruit flavors in this coffee - the cherry and jammy strawberry stand out, along with a bit of honey backing them up. And the acidity is balanced, helping to define the fruit flavors while remaining absolutely chuggable. 

Linarco has five farms, with this lot coming from his Finca Betania. After 48-hours of anaerobic fermentation, and a subsequent 48-hours of aerobic oxidation (not fermentation!), this coffee was fully washed. It dried on raised beds for 12 days and then was expertly milled by our friends at Desarrolladores de Cafe.

Both Linarco's mother and sisters are involved in the operation, which all started with his grandparents. Finca Betania is 42 hectares, and five of them are conserved as native forest.
