This nanolot from Julián Calderón, grown at 1,800 meters above sea level in Palestina (Huila), represents one of the purest and most elegant expressions of Colombian Gesha. Processed using traditional washing, it offers a crystalline, precise, and luminous cup, combining vibrant acidity, fine sweetness, and outstanding floral complexity.

According to the tasters at LaREB and 575, this Gesha stood out as one of the best coffees evaluated in 2021: transparent, balanced, and with an identity that perfectly reflects its origin. Surprisingly, this lot comes from the first harvest of Julián's first small plot, making it an extraordinary start for a producer with a promising future.

The sensory profile unfolds with juicy raspberry, rose blossoms, and a crisp, clean finish that leaves a lingering impression of purity. It's an honest and straightforward coffee, without artifice, where the terroir and the producer's intention speak for themselves.
