THE PRODUCER
THE PRODUCER
Wilder is a geneticist by profession and coffee is a family affair, refining processing methods and finding new audiences for their lots. The farm in Huila produces stunning coffees that take advantage of climate, altitude, soil and process styles, such as this fantastic Gesha arabica, named after his wife, Lady.
We first had the opportunity to meet Wilder and Lady several years ago at the Manchester Coffee Festival and their coffees have been a vital feature of our Producer Series list ever since. He has also supplied coffee from his father and brother’s farm, La Dinastia. He’s now working very closely with our friend and supply partner, Roger Gonzalez Zapata from Los Cafes del Arriero, and we love chatting coffee with them both.

CREATIVE COFFEES FROM
PROGRESSIVE PRODUCERS.
Gesha remains the superstar of the coffee world and it loves high altitude conditions to show off its floral, sweet citrus and complex flavour profile. At around 2000m, the slopes of Bella Alejandra provide perfect conditions and every sip demonstrates this. After the ripe Gesha cherries are harvested, they are placed inside plastic bags for 60 hours. Then they are de-pulped, and the coffee is immediately placed in sealed tanks for 100 hours. Once the fermentation is complete, the coffee is fully washed and placed on raised beds to dry in direct sunlight, for around 15 to 20 days.
Please note we only hold a limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)
How to brew
We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.
Tasting notes
This is a juicy, effervescent and complex coffee with a lovely, silky texture, honeysuckle and orange aromatics and a deliciously sweet cup. Very suited to pour over, this is a satisfyingly citrusy coffee with a subtle hint of funkiness.
