Complex and floral, with cherry, pear, milk chocolate, and caramel. In the cup: cherry, pear, milk chocolate, and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeider Ivan Benavides and Andrea Marcela Ferreira started La Gaviota in 2017, when they bought a small plot and planted several thousand Castillo and Pink Bourbon trees. The goal from the beginning was microlots with traditional washed processing, and over time they pulled the Castillo out in favour of more powerful genetics. The farm now carries 2,000 Pink Bourbon, 1,000 Papayo, and 2,000 Catimor trees. In 2025, they acquired a second small farm nearby, El Cedro, planting 1,300 Pink Bourbon and 700 Geisha there, with the first harvest expected in 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherries are picked by hand, then floated and depulped before the wet parchment ferments in dry open tanks for 48 hours. It's then washed and moved to the marquesina, where it dries for 26 days down to 11% moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48-hour dry open-tank fermentation followed by 26 days of marquesina drying is the defining step — it's what builds the complex, floral character behind the cherry and pear notes, with milk chocolate and caramel rounding out the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplex and floral — cherry, pear, milk chocolate, and caramel throughout.
