The years that followed were filled with a lot of hard work, but what Wilmar remembers most vividly from that time is his father's passion for coffee—and his own budding desire to propel that legacy forward.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout 15 years ago, Wilmar convinced his family to move to a valley called Hoja Blanca, where he now manages a gorgeous farm whose name, Vista Al Bosque, means \"overlooking the forest.\" With two of his brothers' farms now on either side of his own, Wilmar is continuing to write new pages in the Castillo family coffee story, and we are thrilled to recount his Gesha chapter with you once again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter being picked at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries are pulped before undergoing 48 hours of aerobic fermentation. They are then rinsed clean and spread out to sun-dry on African-style raised beds for 10–12 days, until optimal moisture content is achieved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA quick perusal of our menu ought to confirm our undeniable love for the Gesha variety, and we are delighted to have found such a beautiful, classic example in the forests of Guatemala. This coffee takes quintessential Gesha variety characteristics, pitches them directly over the plate, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eknocks them out of the park.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Florality, like white flowers, can be perceived as soon as you bring the cup to your face and inhale. Citrus, like meyer lemon, lends a crisp, clean acidity to the cup. It sips like oolong tea and has a lingering sweetness like turbinado sugar. From the first sip to the last, this coffee is a masterclass in clean, classic Gesha, and we couldn’t love it more. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHuehuetenango, Guatemala\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWilmar Castillo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVista Al Bosque\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWashed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGesha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-fb76a281-7fff-e593-bdd7-49eb85454bff\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1900 MASL\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":52062760239417,"sku":"BWSO-WlC-GW10","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz","offer_id":52062760272185,"sku":"BWSO-WlC-GW12","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":52062760304953,"sku":"BWSO-WlC-GW02","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":52062760337721,"sku":"BWSO-WlC-GW05","price":221.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/WilmarCastilloGeshaWashed_onlinecard_4x_2a298664-f7be-4327-882b-3f4b285ac20a.png?v=1775062818","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-wilmar-castillo-gesha-washed","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
