About
WE ARE COFFEE CURATORS DEDICATED TO SEARCHING FOR THE BEST MICRO LOTS OF GEISHA COFFEE PRODUCED IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF COLOMBIA WITH FULL TRACEABILITY FROM FARMS.
Coffee
Our portfolio focuses on different Geisha micro lots with Washed, Natural and Honey post-harvest processes, supplied by different farms specialized in Geisha production in 6 regions of the country (Nariño, Huila, Quindío and Santander)
Regardless of the region where the Geisha comes from in Colombia, there is always a main axis on the cup that is its citrus notes, generally represented by lime, lemon, grapefruit, and orange. Many times, they are accompanied by floral elements such as jasmine, and they may have other elements in the cup that vary according to their region, planting height and process.
Planting height is synonymous with good coffee, since higher altitudes generate stronger microclimates with sudden changes in temperature in short periods pf time that have a direct impact on the flavour and quality of the cup. The optimal Geisha micro lots are planted between 1,800 and 2,000 meters above sea level.
