About the process...

The coffee process is fully washed, with cherries meticulously sorted to ensure only perfectly ripe ones are used. Leoncio is very selective about his pickers, compensating them well to ensure only fully ripe cherries are harvested. The picking cycle occurs every 8 days. For the Geisha, he employs a double fermentation process: an initial 24-hour aerobic fermentation in the cherry takes place in the hopper, followed by pulping and another 24-hour fermentation in the receiving tank. The coffee is then washed twice. The drying process involves using a parabolic solar dryer, where an ideal 3cm layer of coffee is maintained to ensure even and slow drying.
