Want to be notified when it's back?

Guatemala El Socorro Gesha is a clear representation of why Gesha coffees are so prized: their elegance and complexity. This cup begins with jasmine and lavender florals that lead into clean, bright notes of juicy pineapple and clementine. As it cools, you'll notice delicate raw honey sweetness, and a lingering touch of vanilla in the finish. It's a sip of pure coffee delight, and the story behind Olympia’s partnership with producer Juan Diego is just as sweet.

Juan Diego De La Cerda, owner and manager of El Socorro, has been working with the Olympia Coffee team for over a decade. He called Olympia when he knew this year’s harvest was going to make waves. After taking 1st Place in 2020 with a similar Gesha, Juan Diego continued to hone his coffee by reinvesting in his farm and team. The result of another year of hard work and experimentation? El Socorro’s Gesha scored a whopping 90.1 points at the Guatemala Cup of Excellence auction! In the specialty world, scores of 90 and above represent the very pinnacle of the world’s beans. If you’ve got the opportunity to drink a 90+ coffee, you’re very lucky indeed.

This year’s El Socorro Gesha features a unique take on the typical washed process. Rather than use cold water, El Socorro washes the coffee with hot water to kick-start its fermentation. This allows for a shorter fermentation and preserves the coffee bean’s density. El Socorro’s meticulous and innovative approach creates an elegant and complex cup that brims with notes of fragrant jasmine and light, whipped pineapple sorbet.
