We had Marisela's Gesha and her Rosado with the last season of purchases from LaREB, and both were utterly delightful. This year, she's passed on her Rosado plot at El Portal to her nephew Yoiner, as she focuses on higher value, smaller lots as she gets closer to retirement. We've got both coffees again, but this time both producers have done different processes.
Marisela has dried her Gesha as a natural (in-husk drying), and with typical LaREB protocols, it's incredibly clean. Last years anoxic washed was all stonefruits and florals, this year it's berry jam, floral green tea and complex tropical notes.
Reminds us a lot of the Pikudo Gesha, one of the standout coffees of 2025.
