Washed Geisha in its purest form.

This washed Geisha reveals a cup of exceptional clarity and grace. Grown at Finca La Manoa and processed through controlled fermentation and careful washing, it showcases the intrinsic elegance of the variety: bright citrus acidity, light body, and floral sweetness.

Expect delicate notes of jasmine, bergamot, black tea, and tropical fruit that evolve beautifully as the cup cools.

The Geisha variety is globally renowned for its exceptional cup quality and uniquely delicate sensory profile. Originally from Ethiopia, this cultivar has successfully adapted to the agroclimatic conditions of our farm, where it develops a refined and complex expression.

When processed using the washed method, Geisha becomes even cleaner and brighter. In this method, the fruit’s pulp is removed shortly after harvest. The beans are then carefully fermented and washed to eliminate any remaining mucilage before drying. This process highlights the variety’s intrinsic clarity and elegance.

The result is a coffee that is clean, delicate, and refined, with bright citrus acidity, a light body, and subtle floral sweetness. Its most remarkable attributes include jasmine, bergamot, black tea, and tropical fruit notes, which evolve gracefully as the cup cools.

The region Tolima

Located in the heart of Colombia, the department of Tolima is one of the country's most emblematic coffee-growing regions, renowned for its premium cup profile, organic production and strong social impact. As one of the most complex areas in the country in recent years, Tolima has seen coffee become a driving force for transformation, boosting the local economy while providing a diversion from the economy linked to the armed conflict.

The topography varies from micro-region to micro-region: in the north, the hot, flat climate is ideal for growing rice and cotton, while in the centre the different altitudes offer contrasting climates. But it is in the south, in the mountainous areas bordering the main natural parks and unspoilt regions, that coffee production is concentrated, making Tolima one of the most famous origins in Colombia.

Located in the heart of the country's main coffee-growing region, Tolima benefits from the best geographical and climatic conditions, with fertile mountain soils, ideal altitudes and a temperate tropical climate, which are conducive to the development of the most prized varieties. Thanks to these advantages, the region is one of the most important production areas in the country. Hundreds of associations and cooperatives have turned coffee into a springboard for improving living conditions. As Carlos Guillermo Ospina points out: "In the south of Tolima, coffee has been a symbol, produced not only by coffee growers, but also by victims, indigenous communities and ex-combatants. Thanks to this crop, the community has come together and made an important contribution to peace-building".
