Gesha reborn in the heart of Quindío.
Ten years ago, my family and I made the decision to return to Colombia after living abroad for more than 15 years. Inspired by what we had seen during our time in Central America, we set out to start a specialty coffee project. It was a long-held dream of my father to own a coffee farm, and he finally fulfilled it. A dream that shaped my own early connection with coffee cultivation.
Finca Andaluz, located in Génova, Quindío, was chosen after we traveled across Colombia’s coffee-growing regions nine years ago in search of the ideal place for planting, producing, processing, and marketing specialty varieties.
The Variety: Geisha
Planted seven years ago, our Gesha has faced challenges in root development, making it a complex variety to grow, but its cup quality stands out as the most remarkable on the farm. It offers a vibrant profile with citrus acidity, notes of mint, eucalyptus, and mandarin. In the washed process, it reveals a bright, high acidity and a full, round body.

The farm Andaluz
The farm is located in the municipality of Génova, Vereda El Cedral, on the road from Barragán to Génova. At kilometer 2.2, towards the High Mountain Battalion, you’ll find a right turn marked by an orange gate. The farm was acquired in October 2015 under the name Geahill SAS, our family company. The name Andaluz was chosen by our family in honor of my mother, Luz Bernal De Hiller, for her example and dedication to her coffee farm in Silvania, Cundinamarca. After traveling throughout Colombia in search of the right conditions for producing specialty coffee, we found Andaluz. It offered everything we were looking for: ideal altitude, rich soil, water sources, forest, biodiversity, and the potential to develop high-quality lots.
"Today, we are transitioning from traditional coffee production to shade-grown coffee with regenerative practices. We produce our own lacto bio-fertilizers for soil and foliar applications and use Beauveria sp. for coffee borer control whenever possible."

A few words about Manfred Hiller
"In 1972, my father, Gerhard Hiller, fulfilled his dream of owning a coffee farm in Silvania, Cundinamarca. From the age of twelve, I began visiting the coffee fields with him every week. Two years later, after my father’s passing, my mother, Luz Bernal, and I continued this ritual, keeping his vision alive.
As the years went by, my journey led me to different corners of the coffee world. Working in Brazil, I discovered another dimension of coffee cultivation. Later, living in Europe, I realized ho
w much better coffee could taste, which sparked my curiosity to learn about it from the perspective of the cup. My time in Central America opened my eyes to the universe of specialty coffee, and from that moment on, I set myself a goal: to become a coffee producer dedicated to quality and distinction.
Today, that dream has become reality, fueled by heritage, passion, and the pursuit of excellence."
