Hugo González's Gesha [Copa De Oro

We've been working with Osito since we started, and they're one of our key supply chain partners. For the past 4 years (and some years before that with smaller regional events), Osito have run the "Copa de Oro" competition in Colombia - running over the 3 main regions they buy coffee from. This is the first year Copa de Oro lots have come to the UK/EU (typically they'd all been snaffled by the US), and we were very lucky to secure 2 of those - including this overall grand champion - first place central region and top overall - lot from Hugo González. A banger and top example of excellent Colombian Gesha Brew Guide: Best Brewed with: Filter Lightest Roast Influence: We'd like to think we're pretty good with Colombian Gesha of this style by now - super fast roast, on the very edge of what we can pull off, that maximises aromatics and complexity Best Rested: 5+ weeks Filter: 62g/L, 96°C when fresh, but you can go down to 92°C when rested. Espresso: 18g/50g+/18-22s We're tasting: Huge floral aromatics - we're finding fresh elderflower blossoms, honeysuckle and magnolia. In the cup it's creamy and very sweet - we find fresh tangerine, honeydew melon, and loquat, with a zippy white wine acidity. As it cools becoming more delicate - we find white tea, lemongrass, and dried jasmine
