What the Brand Says
La Colorada Geisha Grown by Eduardo Anacona Osso at Finca La Colorada in Huila, Colombia, this geisha is a subtle and gentle take on the variety. Geisha coffees are typically known for their intense floral character, citrus acidity and complex layering. La Colorada carries some of those hallmark traits, but it isn't quite a traditional geisha. Rather than a bold floral bomb, it's an approachable, balanced and quietly elegant cup that charms through its clarity — the kind of coffee you could just as easily enjoy on an ordinary morning. In the cup, delicate tropical fruit notes of honeydew melon and starfruit meet soft florals, cashew and cherry sweetness. A fine example of just how much nuance a single variety can hold. Finca La Colorada sits in the hills of Villa María, in the Íquira region, on land Eduardo has farmed for most of his life. He started growing coffee alongside his father at just twelve years old, and had his own land by twenty-two. The farm grows mostly Castillo, but on smaller, carefully tended plots he also grows geisha — a variety that demands patience and precision from its grower, but rewards that care with clarity and refinement in the cup. The cherries are picked and processed on the same day. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks, after which the coffee is slowly dried in parabolic dryers for nearly three weeks. The farm sits fully exposed to the sun, with no shade trees, at an altitude of 1,650–2,100 meters above sea level — conditions that give this geisha its signature clarity.La Colorada Geisha Grown by Eduardo Anacona Osso at Finca La Colorada in Huila, Colombia, this geisha is a subtle and gentle take on the variety.
