Milk & Beans' second Gesha! This was produced by Alex Arango, one of Raw Material's Villamaría producers.

Brimming with lots of juicy acidity, this coffee is giving us a lot of fizzy drink notes, but with may florals in it too.

Villamaría is an association settled in the mountains of Caldas, with various microclimates sitting side by side.

La Colmena translates to The Beehive, describing perfectly the amount of bees that pollenate the Gesha trees during flowering season.  

For the process, this cherry is harvested and delivered to La Aurora nearby, where it is floated, sorted and left to rest for 24 hours. The cherries are then transported to the Jamaica station where it undergoes a further 48 hours of fermentation. Then, the coffee is dried in greenhouses for 15 days, before being finished in a mechanical dryer for 3-4 days.
