Gesha Village Story
Rachel Samuel—one half of our partnership—was born in Ethiopia, but we discovered the country anew when we came here in 2007 to make a documentary about Ethiopia’s amazing coffee. During this process, we developed a passion for the country, its people, and its coffee industry. That path quickly led us to Willem Boot, the San Francisco Bay Area-based coffee educator well-known for his passion for the Gesha variety. As Willem taught us the fundamentals of growing and evaluating coffee with a quality focus, the shadow of Gesha loomed large over our conversations.
We soon returned to Ethiopia to find suitable land to launch our coffee venture growing Gesha. For months we searched for the perfect spot—one with high elevation, ample rainfall, temperate climates, and other crucial natural factors needed to produce coffee of excellent quality. We found it in West Omo. The untouched landscape provided us with the unique opportunity to build the coffee farm of our dreams from the ground up. But it also offered us a one-of-a-kind experience: close proximity to the Gori Gesha forest, the variety’s birthplace and site of the Panamanian Geisha discovery in the 1930s.

The producer, José Amir Garzon, lives on the farm with his wife and three children. In other words: it’s a family business. Garzon has been working with coffee for 30 years. His experience and drive have led him to focus on specialty coffee. His profits go towards improving the infrastructure of the small farm while also caring for the local environment.
Located in the Planadas region, a remote area renowned for its high quality coffee, Finca Villa Karina is a small farm of no more than 5 hectares in total. This is just enough space to carefully plant the Geisha coffee trees, care for them for a whole year, and then hand-pick carefully while only selecting ripe cherries.

During the anaerobic fermentation, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae strain T58 yeast was added, which is used for the improvement of profiles in the brewing industry. The proportion used was 1:5, (1 gram x 5 kg of cherry) in active dilution at 35°C, the solution was added to the cherry by spraying and left in the conditioning and multiplication stage for 80 hours.

Colombia Finca Las Flores (Sidra Anaerobic Washed)
Ginger Lily, Lychee, Pear
Finca Las Flores is one in a group of five farms that have banded together for the greater success of each producing family. This tight-knit collective in the Pitalito area collaborates closely in everything from agronomy and processing innovations, through to marketing networks and community get-togethers.
Las Flores began with 2 hectares mixing Caturra and Colombia variety coffee trees (some 18,000 in total planted) when Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure arrived, moving the family from Cundinamarca to Acevedo in 1990. As their three boys grew up, they became instrumental in the Las Flores production. Eldest Carlos with youngest Diego runs most logistics for the farm on the ground. Whilst middle son, Johan, has brought his experience from working with other celebrated producers to direct processing decisions at Las Flores and having an extraordinary impact on the qualities being achieved.
Since 2006, the family have gradually built on their traditional beginnings with the introduction of alternative varieties for the region, such as Chiroso, Java, Pacamara, Pink Bourbon and Tabi. Currently, Las Flores spans over 14 hectares with 90,000 trees, whilst always retaining a dedicated natural reserve to protect its biodiversity.
Sidra (also known as Sydra or Bourbon Sidra) is a hybrid varietal, made of Red Bourbon and Typica and combines characteristics of these two varieties. It has acquired the sweetness and the body of Red Bourbon and the bright taste and acidity of Typica.
Roaster Notes:
A clean cup coffee lifted by prominent interleaving notes of Lychee and Ginger Lilies. A delicate and floral forward coffee that shines so well across espresso and filter. In milk, a lower ratio of milk to coffee will help to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors
