Colombia Sebastian Ramirez Gesha White Honey

Sebastián Ramírez, a fourth-generation producer from Quindío, Colombia, crafts this anaerobic white honey using fully ripe Geisha cherries inoculated with proprietary yeast and subjected to 48 hours of low-oxygen fermentation before pulping and patio-drying. The method preserves the variety's classic aromatics—intense florals and wildflower honey—while the fermentation enhances bright bergamot, apricot, and stone fruit with dazzling acidity and silky mouthfeel. Ramírez is widely recognized for precision fermentation techniques and mentoring young producers; this coffee exemplifies his philosophy of making coffee expressive and anything but ordinary.
