Philippines ACU Gesha Dark Room Drying (Natural)

Tucked at 1,737 meters above sea level in the mountains of Davao del Sur is the first Gesha farm in the Philippines, ACU Coffee. It was founded by Acuii Sicayang, a dedicated farmer whose story started with a vision and appreciation. He sourced the Gesha he grows from the renowned Elida Estate in Panama, not only to plant them but to begin a new chapter for Philippine coffee by learning from every harvest.

This ACU Gesha Lot is Acuii's most meticulous creations yet. Ripe cherries were anaerobically fermented then thermal-shocked—a method that enhances the coffee's flavor profile while reducing undesirable notes. After fermentation, the cherries underwent a slow drying process inside a dark, climate-regulated room with stable temperature and humidity for over 40 to 60 days. The result is a more delicate profile, with more candy-like flavors and a more pronounced florality.
