Finca La Joya is located in Gonzanamá, Loja, Ecuador, and is managed by Santiago Crespo. The farm consists of 9 hectares of land, sitting at an elevation of 1,900 m.a.s.l, and has 31,500 coffee trees in production: a mix of varieties such as Red & Yellow Caturra, Typica, Red & Yellow Bourbon, and Pacas.
Santiago starts his processing by handpicking the ripest cherries and floating them once they arrive at the wet mill. He then leaves the cherries to ferment overnight for 12 hours, followed by an additional 24-hour dry fermentation after de-pulping. After this final fermentation, the coffee is sun-dried in raised beds for between 8 and 15 days, depending on the weather.
This lot from his farm is smooth and mellow with an enchanting sweetness that lingers on your palate after your final sip. Its a great springtime coffee highlighted by the honey and brown sugar sweetness. Grab a bag today and enjoy those spring morning cups outside!
We ship freshly roasted coffee Monday through Friday via UPS ground. Most orders placed before 2pm EST will ship same day.
Delayed, Lost or Stolen Packages
We will do our best to help troubleshoot with you, but we
cannot control what happens when your package leaves the roasting
facility. Once the package has been picked up, it is out of our hands.
Holidays, severe weather, carrier staff shortage and high package volumes are causing delays in package transit time.
As a small business, we are unable to absorb the costs of
packages being lost in transit. We cannot refund orders that are marked
as delivered with a tracking number, even if a customer is stating they
haven’t received the package.
For UPS claims, please email us at georgio@georgioscoffee.com
When checking out, *Please make sure your address is correct!*
In order to balance getting your coffee out to
you as quickly as possible with freshness of roast we ship all coffee as
ordered within one week of the roast date. We typically roast
Wednesdays and Fridays.
In our experience most coffees
taste best after a few days rest, and high quality coffees stay at peak
flavor up to six weeks post roast.
