Geisha – Aromatic Excellence | Specialty Coffee

Finca Santa Isabel is nestled in the lush, fertile hills surrounding Manizales – a region internationally renowned for its high-quality Colombian specialty coffee. The farm is managed by Lina Londoño, whose deep connection to nature and meticulous work are evident in every step of the coffee production process. Her approach combines a precise understanding of microclimate, altitude, and processing techniques with a profound respect for sustainability and quality.

At 1,700 meters above sea level, Santa Isabel offers an ideal environment for cultivating demanding varieties like Geisha. The altitude ensures a slow ripening of the coffee cherries, resulting in more sugar, aromas, and acidity. The interplay of clean mountain air, fertile soils, a tropical climate, and the meticulous care provided by the farm team results in coffees of exceptional elegance and clarity.

The farm's focus is strongly on the production of high-quality Geisha coffees. Lina Londoño combines extensive experience with a modern, knowledge-based approach, which is particularly evident in anaerobic fermentation. This results in coffees that impress not only with their varietal rarity but also with their sensory precision and depth.

Geisha is one of the rarest coffee varieties in the world.
Not because of marketing – but because of the demanding production.

• very low yield per plant
• sensitive to climate and environment
• extremely selective harvest
• elaborate processing
• very small production quantities

This combination makes Geisha a coffee that is sought after by top roasters and coffee lovers worldwide.

Most coffees are exported as raw beans and roasted later.
We're taking a different approach.
Our coffee is roasted directly in Colombia, near the farm where it was grown.
This allows us to maintain full control over freshness, flavor profile and quality.

These methods bring out the clarity and aromatic qualities of the Geisha particularly well.
To best highlight the floral aromas and elegant structure, we recommend:

• French Press
• V60
• Chemex

This Geisha product is only produced in very small quantities each year.
If a lot is sold out, it will only be available again with the next harvest.
