This Gesha coffee is produced by Pablo Andres Guerrero at Hacienda El Obraje in Tangua, Nariño, Colombia, at an altitude of 2200 meters. The coffee undergoes an anaerobic natural process, where cherries are fermented in airtight tanks for 120 hours, followed by shade drying and mechanical drying. The flavor profile is fruit-forward and vibrant, featuring notes of strawberry, grape, and ripe plum, with floral hibiscus undertones. It offers a balanced cup with sparkling acidity and an effervescent quality, making it well-suited for pour-over brewing.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
