About This Specialty Coffee Jhonathan and his brother, third generation coffee growers from the Gasca family, run Zarza Coffee in the Brussels Mountains of Huila, Colombia. Building on their family’s legacy, they have expanded their expertise through education and sustainable practices, including beekeeping to support coffee cultivation and add value to their products. Since starting their specialty coffee journey in 2022, they have faced many challenges but continue refining their processing techniques to improve quality and consistency. Driven by a commitment to traceability, quality, and innovation, the Gasca brothers aim to share their exceptional coffee and story with the world.
Papayo varieties are prized for their rare genetics and incredible flavor potential, featuring distinctive papaya-shaped cherries. Through precise processing methods including being dried with the fruit intact, Zarza unlocks vibrant fruit notes, bright acidity, and a rich, balanced body. Handpicked for consistency, the beans consistently score high in specialty coffee competitions, delivering an extraordinary sensory experience that reflects the unique terroir and dedicated craftsmanship of Finca Zarza.
Zarza Coffee greets the palate with a lush fusion of crisp red apple, juicy, bright, and the decadent sweetness of maraschino cherries, a vibrant and intriguingly fruit-forward note. This cherry character emerges beautifully from precise natural processing methods, which unlock deep sweetness and lively complexity. These bright notes are especially pronounced in light-to-medium roasts, allowing the coffee’s origin characteristics to shine vividly. Smooth vanilla and comforting warmth emerge, weaving a decadent layer of richness that gives the coffee a beautifully rounded, full-bodied character. Its texture is silky and velvety, enveloping the palate with a soft, syrupy mouthfeel.
Finish: This lingering aftertaste invites a slow savoring of the coffee’s complex layers, making each sip an exquisite sensory journey.
