Felipe and Carlos Arcila, the founders of Cofinet, are fourth generation coffee producers from Quindio, Colombia. They purchased Jardines Del Eden in 2015 to focus on growing exotic varieties of coffees, and started Cofinet to produce, source and export the highest quality of Colombian coffees to the world.
The coffees from Jardines Del Eden are truly special to us. In October 2019, our team visited Jardines Del Eden for the first time, where Felipe proudly showed us seedlings of new experimental varietals that will produce ripe cherries in about three years. We were fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit exactly three years later in October 2022, where we tasted the fruits of his labour and selected a few outstanding new varietals to share with our guests back home.
We visited Cofinet again in October 2023 and picked this unique lot of Red Gesha. This Red Gesha varietal is a natural mutation of the Red Bourbon, and originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This coffee was exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation of 24 hours before being placed inside Grainpro bags for 50 hours at a temperature below 22ºC. Then the whole cherries were placed on raised beds until 11% moisture content was achieved.
We enjoy this coffee for its juicy mouthfeel and vibrant fruit-forward character, which reminds us of sweet mandarins and juicy cranberries, with a fresh and distinct floral finish.
