This Gesha coffee comes from the Martir group, an organization of 18 young farmers in Colombia. This is the first time the group has produced a Gesha separation. The coffee is a light roast that features an intense and complex array of acidic and floral flavors with a creamy, tropical-sweet backbone. The varietal is delicate and challenging to handle through growing, roasting, and brewing. This coffee needs at least two weeks of rest after its roast date to reach its full potential. Tasting notes include fruit punch, paloma, floral, and black tea.
Operating since 1990, Phoenix Coffee holds distinction as one of Cleveland's original specialty roasters, pioneering quality coffee culture in Ohio long before it became mainstream. The roastery transitioned to employee ownership, operating as a cooperative where every team member shares in the vision and success. With multiple locations serving the Cleveland area, Phoenix Coffee remains committed to the values established over three decades of community engagement and excellence.
