Elegant and composed, orange blossom and violets lead the nose, with a soft strawberry sweetness through the body and a gently fading chamomile finish. In the cup: orange blossom, strawberry, violets, and chamomile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Hacienda El Obraje didn't see its first coffee tree until Pablo planted one in 2000, the first of any of his neighbours. The wet mill he built on the farm in 2009 became his laboratory, and years of fermentation experiments there taught him exactly when a coffee needs intervention and when it needs restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e This lot got restraint. Cherries are held whole for just 20 hours before being depulped and washed, then finished with a short secondary fermentation underwater — about as gentle as processing gets, chosen because Gesha grown at 2,200 meters doesn't need help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gentle, minimal-intervention approach is the defining choice here — the equator makes this elevation viable at all, and the sun-drenched days and cold nights stretch ripening out for weeks, building delicate aromatics while keeping the acidity fine and structured rather than sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant and composed — orange blossom and violets on the nose, a soft strawberry sweetness through the body, and a chamomile finish that fades gently rather than dropping off. A benchmark for what Colombian Gesha can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🌸 Orange Blossom 🍓 Strawberry 💜 Violets 🌼 Chamomile\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helm Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":58402246820214,"sku":"HELM-OBRAJE-HACIENDA-GESHA-WASHED-FIL-200","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"100g","offer_id":58402247016822,"sku":"HELM-OBRAJE-HACIENDA-GESHA-WASHED-FIL-100","price":20.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/Artboard42copy2_4x_e0f9a063-10b2-46c8-af08-6ac98344f5f6.png-cropped.jpg?v=1785959188","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/helm-coffee-roasters-hacienda-el-obraje-washed-gesha-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
