Discovering Excellence: Geisha Natural Coffee from the Heart of Colombia

Rogelio and Leidy Johanna Espinosa prioritize high-quality batches at Finca La Bonita, cultivating Geisha and Java varieties with precision. Since acquiring the farm, their commitment to cultivating and processing exceptional coffees, including naturals like this lot, has been unwavering. They named the farm Finca La Bonita, meaning “beautiful” in Spanish, reflecting the breathtaking views from its flat, picturesque lands.

Rogelio emphasizes the farm’s unparalleled beauty, focusing on realizing the potential of Geisha and Java through Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and shaded tree presence. Hired pickers selectively harvest ripe, red cherries, delivering them to their on-site wet mill. Pickers are urged to select only ripe cherries, and upon reception, cherries undergo meticulous sorting, ensuring less than 1% of processed cherries are unripe. Selected cherries are spread on raised beds for sun drying, with frequent raking for uniform drying.

The Geisha variety, originating from Ethiopian coffee forests in the 1930s, gained modern fame in 2005 when a lot won the “Best of Panama” competition, setting contemporary records at over $20 per pound. Today, Geisha is renowned for delicate floral notes of jasmine and stone fruits.

Huila, in southwest Colombia, is a well-known coffee-growing region. Known for its quality coffees, Huila benefits from favorable geographical conditions, with the Colombian Massif providing up to 70% of drinking and agricultural water. Colombia has been producing and exporting coffee renowned for its full body, vibrant acidity, and rich aftertaste since the early 19th century. In recent years, the Colombian specialty coffee sector has flourished, with increased attention to isolating the highest quality beans for separate marketing under specific brands or stories.

Besides its diverse taste profiles, Colombia has expanded certification options, including Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, and Organic, reflecting the country’s commitment to sustainability and quality in its coffee production.
