His family had been producing commodity coffee for generations; seeing coffee as a means to an end. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce Richard took over the farm, he knew the future was specialty. He immediately began to retool the farm, taking a huge risk. He planted high quality varietals like chiroso, SL28, Caturra, typica and of course Gesha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am beyond proud to work with Richard in his first year exporting specialty coffee under his own brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this natural process, the cherries were carefully hand-selected, ensuring that only fully ripe fruit entered the processing stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cherries were meticulously hand-selected one by one, choosing only the ripest fruit from each harvest.

This slow drying process ensured even moisture reduction while promoting greater aromatic complexity, sweetness, and stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the desired moisture content was achieved, the coffee was stored in a cold room for a resting period in parchment, allowing the beans to stabilize before milling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis carefully controlled processing protocol was designed to maximize the expression of the Geisha variety, producing a cup with exceptional clarity, balance, sweetness, and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe taste:\u003cbr\u003eExtremely juicy and fruity cup, with clean sparkling acidity in such a unique presentation. A potent blackberry jam aroma bursts from the cup alongside perfumey fresh fig and pineapple. As the cup cools, acidity shifts towards fresh fruit character and gummy candies like guava, kiwi and starfruit. As the cup begins to cool a more floral rosehip tea presents with proncounced floral and fruity acidity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Letters Charming Coffees","offers":[{"title":"120g","offer_id":67804875030571,"sku":null,"price":28.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7176\/8619\/files\/Screenshot_2026-10-09_172356.png?v=1791596985","url":"https:\/\/loveletterscharming.coffee\/products\/arauz-cs21-cold-room-dried-natural-gesha-boquete-panama-120g","provider":"Love Letters Charming Coffees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
