COLOMBIA HACIENDA GEISHA #781

Curator's Notes

The first famous Geisha beans came from Panama, but Geisha coffees from neighboring Colombia are a similarly rare, special treat. Colombia is well known as a coffee-growing powerhouse, and the Geisha program at Finca Manantiales del Frontino is exceptional. Located in the premier Northern growing region of Valle de Cauca, the farm places their Geisha-growing area at the highest elevations of the property: a sky-scraping 1700-1900 meters. Their Geisha varietal is so well-loved, it won the "coffee of the year" in SCAA competition in 2011-- that's across all roasts from all countries. The best in show!

Roaster's Notes

Fresh from the Caicedonica - Valle Del Cauca growing region of Colombia, this year's Gesha is one of our finest. With a 91 point score and tasting notes of Concord grape, honeysuckle, and golden pear this washed processed coffee beams with pride. We worked directly with the farmers at Manantiales Del Frontino to source this Gesha. At 5,700 feet in elevation, the coffee cherries are small and dense, allowing them to develop distinct tasting notes and astounding characteristics. Being one of Colombia’s finest varietals and coming from one of the country’s finest growing region, this year’s Colombian Gesha promises to pack an unmistakable flavor and quality.
