Season's Best: Colombia - Duberney Cifuentes, Honey Gesha Filter

One of the most exciting coffees of the year, we are proud to present this remarkable Gesha microlot from super-producer Duberney Cifuentes Fajardo. A third-generation coffee farmer, Duberney and his wife Neyireth own Finca Montreal, situated at 2050 meters just south of Planadas, Tolima. His deep commitment to organic agriculture has earned him Regenerative Organic Certification in 2024, after practicing organic farming since 2014.

This specific lot is one of the best coffees from Tolima and showcases Duberney’s meticulous processing techniques. The coffee cherries undergo a multi-stage anaerobic fermentation, first in cherry for 32 hours, and again for 40 hours after depulping, before being slowly dried on parabolic beds. Duberney's expert cultivation, processing and dedication to quality have earned him numerous awards, including the #1 prize at the 2023 Cup of Excellence for this exact protocol.
