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.

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 farm La Manoa

Founded 50 years ago and held by a single owner until recently, Finca La Manoa entered a new chapter two years ago when we acquired it with the vision of honoring its legacy while shaping its future. The name La Manoa comes from the Latin verb manus, meaning union and spirit, a reflection of the harmony we seek between people, land, and coffee.

The farm is located in Planadas, Tolima, in the village of Los Alpes. To reach it, one must follow the Planadas–Gaitania road, take the turn toward El Diamante, and continue until the crossroads of Los Alpes. Just six minutes past the school of the village, you will find La Manoa.

Our team is made up of 4 permanent workers, and during harvest season, we welcome around 15 seasonal pickers from neighboring areas. Each hand involved in La Manoa is part of the union that gives life to our coffee — a coffee that reflects the resilience, richness, and spirit of Tolima.

A few words about Jose Edwin Barzon

"I was born the son of a coffee grower, and from a very young age I began learning the craft of coffee farming. My father taught me the many skills and traditions of caficulture, sharing his knowledge of processes and quality, which he has cultivated for more than ten years.

Two years ago, the opportunity arose to acquire Finca La Manoa, a dream that I shared with my parents. Together, we embraced this challenge, exploring new varietals and building a project rooted in family values. My parents have been my greatest support — their guidance and dedication have shaped my journey and inspired me to carry this dream forward.

I have always lived in Planadas, Tolima, and everything I know about coffee I owe to them. Being a farmer is, to me, a blessing — the privilege of producing differentiated coffees with humility, responsibility, and a commitment to quality".
