Producer & Origin

This coffee comes from Finca Las Flores in Acevedo, Huila, Colombia, at 1,750 meters above sea level, where Jhoan Vergara and his family have become known for highly detailed, innovation-driven coffee production. The farm has earned recognition for coffees that combine technical processing with clean, expressive cup quality.

At Las Flores, careful cherry selection, variety separation, and controlled fermentation are central to how each lot is developed. That approach is especially evident in this Geisha, where the goal is not just intensity, but elegance.

Processing

This lot begins with cherries picked at optimal ripeness, selected from healthy trees and floated to remove impurities. The coffee then moves through a layered fermentation process designed to intensify aromatic complexity while maintaining clarity.

The process includes:

• 12 hours of oxidation at room temperature in open plastic bags

• 24 hours of submerged fermentation with mosto reproduced from previous fermentations of the same variety

• 60 hours of anaerobic fermentation after depulping in closed plastic bags

Fermentation is then interrupted through quenching, using hot water at 50°C for 30 minutes followed by rapid cooling to help fix volatile compounds developed during fermentation. The coffee is then dried in a hermetically sealed stainless steel dehumidifier until it reaches 11% moisture, with drying lasting approximately 36 to 40 hours, followed by 2 weeks of stabilization.

This approach helps preserve sweetness, structure, and floral definition in the final cup.
