This expertly processed Reverse Protocol Gesha is highly expressive, bright, and aromatically complex. Incredibly loud jasmine green tea notes lead, complemented by a finger lime acidity and layers of bergamot. In the cup: jasmine green tea, finger lime, and bergamot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocky Mountain Farm sits in Santa Clara, Chiriquí, between 1,400 and 1,600 masl, managed by third- and fourth-generation farmers Alan and Diana Hartmann. The farm's rich, biodiverse climate and agroforestry techniques help maintain its volcanic soil, acting as a centralized point for the broader Hachi Project — a model for scalable, sustainable farming that consistently produces high quality year over year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse Protocol begins with whole cherries undergoing a controlled submerged fermentation before depulping and washing. The intact fruit is placed in a calibrated culture medium with selected enzymes and yeast, allowing structured development during a precisely timed 24-hour phase. Once the desired profile is reached, the cherries are depulped and washed to halt fermentation before drying under controlled conditions in a dark room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precisely timed, calibrated culture medium fermentation is the defining step — it's designed to capture the benefits of whole-cherry fermentation without excessive intensity, refining and highlighting Gesha's cleaner aspects rather than adding ferment-driven flavours. This coffee cracked quite early and landed at one of the lightest production roasts on record, letting that delicate processing shine through fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and aromatically complex — incredibly loud jasmine green tea notes lead, with a finger lime acidity and layers of bergamot, magnolia, and hibiscus.
