Gesha, Colombia

Varietal: Gesha (aka Geisha)
Processing: Wet Processed / Washed
Farm: San Luis, Omar Arango Tinoco
Region: Cordillera de los Andes, Colombia

Gesha (or Geisha) is an heirloom varietal indigenous to Ethiopia that has been grown in Colombia for just over a decade. It was planted as part of a ten year project to improve quality and increase varieties in Colombia and has become one of the most distinguished coffees of the world. Gesha is a rare and delicious variety which balances intensity and delicacy.

This exquisite coffee was grown in the volcanic soil of Colombia’s finest coffee producing region, in the center branch of the Andean mountain chain “Cordillera de los Andes". 

Omar Arango Tinoco has been growing organic coffee since 1998. He planted the Gesha varietal in 2014 on his 42 hectare farm ”Finca San Luis”, of which he has set aside 3 hectares to be preserved as a protected forest. The coffee was wet-processed using strict quality control standards, then dried in the sun on raised beds.
