David Ruben Gómez produces Gesha, Caturra, and Variedad Colombia varieties on his four hectare farm in La Plata, Huila, Colombia. Hailing from a coffee-growing family, David and his brothers continue the tradition with an emphasis on high-quality production targeted at the international specialty market.

This lot is 100% Gesha, a highly lauded variety that is valued for its fruited and floral profiles. This particular example leans heavily into the fruited side of that spectrum, with dense layers of ripe berry and tropical fruit flavors, with slight touches of florality adding complexity to this fruit-forward cup. We taste plum, pineapple, and strawberry.
