This washed Gesha coffee comes from the El Espejo farm in the Tolima region of Colombia, owned by Arnubio Jose Cardenas Sanches. The coffee cherries are sorted by density, fermented in cherry for 12 hours, de-pulped, and fermented in tanks for an additional 12 hours before being washed and dried on ventilated roofs for 18-23 days. This coffee offers a flavor profile characterized by notes of apricot and Earl Grey florals, accompanied by bright acidity.
Prodigal Coffee marks the highly anticipated return of industry legend Scott Rao to the roasting game, setting up shop in Boulder, Colorado, to practice what he’s preached in his famous books. After years of consulting, the whole mission is to produce technically flawless roasts that lean unapologetically into lighter, modern profiles, aiming for high-acid, juicy cups. The sourcing is selective, focused only clean, high-scoring greens that can stand up to their data-driven quality control standards.
