Colombia Monteverde Wush Wush is the first coffee we're introducing as part of our new Limited Edition Series for 2025 - a truly remarkable coffee experience from a celebrated producer Newerly Gutierrez and his family at Monteverde farm, Colombia.

Newerly is a 3rd generation coffee farmer, renowned and celebrated for his skill and expertise that has seen immense success at coffee competitions worldwide. Newerly, alongside his brother Johan has been growing coffees at their farm Monteverde for many years after taking over the farm from their father.

Their farm, Monteverde is situated on the slopes of the Central Andean Mountain Range in Tolima’s Rio Blanco municipality. The farm benefits from mineral-rich soils, abundant biodiversity, and an ideal altitude near the equator. These conditions allow slow cherry maturation and protect the farm from harsh tropical storms.

On taking over the farm, Newerley went onto complete Grader and Q Processing courses, embracing experimental varietals and innovative processing methods, which were instrumental in elevating Monteverde to international acclaim.

Today, the farm is celebrated for exceptional coffees like Mokka, Geisha, and of course, Wush Wush, each meticulously processed to deliver distinctive flavour profiles.

At Bailies, our relationship began in 2017 with the rare Mokka variety, which went on to feature in Irish Barista and Brewers Cup competitions. Since then, we’ve continued sourcing standout lots from Monteverde—coffees that embody rarity, skill, and uncompromising quality.

Processing
After hand picking the cherries, they have been placed in water filled barrels and fermented for 60 hours with rotating and replacing the fermentation water regularly. This allows the fermentation of the cherries to be controlled precisely without development of any over-fermented flavours. Once the process was done, the water was drained and the cherries were placed on raised beds under the drying tents they have built on top of their house. The coffee was slow dried over the course of 30 days.
