Wilder Lazo "Bella Alejandra"
Wilder's Bella Alejandra Gesha is complex, clean, and stunning. We get sweet tangerine and pastry (think zesty orange cake), young, ripe rhubarb, superb mouthfeel, and incredible fragrance.
Wilder is a monumental force in the Colombian coffee scene. His Bella Alejandra Gesha is a stunning representation of the heights he has reached. After harvesting, he pulps the cherries immediately, puts them into blue fermentation tanks, and lets them ferment for 36 hours anaerobically. It is subsequently fully washed and dried in marquesinas for 12 days.

Sorting Level
11-11.5%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
