This washed lot from El Dorado Estate carries a captivating profile shaped by its exceptionally high 2,300m elevation — sweet-sour layers of purple grape and dried cranberry, finishing with a delicate, mellow black tea note. In the cup: purple grapes, dried cranberries, and black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEl Dorado Estate was established in 2017, acquired by the Elder family and jointly managed with the Bernie family of CVM (Chocovilcamundo) — a family originating from a coffee-growing lineage in Ibagué, Colombia, with generations of cultivation experience. Together with the estate's growers, they combine modern agricultural technique and sustainable farming with the unique terroir of the Andes — mineral-rich spring water, nutrient-rich shade trees, and 12 hours of daily sunshine year-round. The estate took 3rd place at the 2023 Ecuadorian Gold Cup Taza Dorado and 4th place at the 2022 Ecuadorian Cup of Excellence with an anaerobic sun-dried Gesha. Of 64 total hectares, 38 are planted with coffee across six varieties: Green Geisha, Yellow Geisha, Modified Typica, Bourbon Hezsaw, SL28, and Wush Wush, all grown using natural pesticides and fertilisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Yellow Gesha's naturally layered sweet-sour character to come through, built on the estate's exceptionally high 2,300m elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extreme altitude is the defining factor here — it's what nurtures the layered purple grape and dried cranberry sweetness, finishing on a mellow black tea note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLayered and evolving — an initial taste reminiscent of purple grapes, unfolding into dried cranberries and a delicate, mellow black tea aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍇 Purple Grapes 🍒 Dried Cranberries 🍵 Black Tea\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terraform Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 100g \/ August 20th","offer_id":58681565938038,"sku":"TFM-DORADO-YELLOW-GESHA-WASHED-FIL-100G-AUG20","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/el-dorado_097d55c0-a460-4882-a001-46f0ebbdb27f.png-cropped.png?v=1789117591","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/terraform-coffee-roasters-el-dorado-washed-yellow-gesha-ecuador","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
