ABOUT WILDER LAZO GEISHA

Wilder Lazo began his coffee growing career in 2016 after his father fell ill. Immediately, he began to improve the quality of the farm through examining soil samples and using targeted nutrients and fertilizers to neutralizse the pH value in the soil. This increased the availability of nutrients for the coffee trees – referring to this as precision agriculture. With that attention to detail, it’s no surprise then that when he’s not growing coffee, Wilder is a veterinarian specialised in livestock farming!

This lot is the famed Geisha variety! During harvest, only the fully ripe and extremely large fruits are picked and then floated. Immediately, the cherries are pulped leaving just the beans in their mucilage. These beans are placed into fermentation tanks for 60 hours in a dry anaerobic environment. The coffee is then fully washed and dried for 12 days on raised beds.

Wilder’s Sidamo Heirloom variety is a result of a happy experiment. Wilder recieved a sample or green coffee and tried to germinate it – and it was successful! There are now 3200 coffee trees of the Sidamo Heirloom varietal growing at El Rubi. This lot is the first real harvest, and the results are delicious.
