silver needle, peach juice, and boba tea

Jairo is a baller. We’ve interacted with him on multiple occasions and it’s always easy conversation. There’s plenty to talk about regarding Jairo, but it always circles back to the excellent coffees that he’s bringing out of Finca Juan Martin. This coffee is a delicious Gesha with loads of complexity. What I find is that the majority of Geshas out of Colombia tend to be less floral and more herbaceous and tea-esque; I feel like this bean really embodies those characteristics. A nice complex cup with lots of tea-like touches and faint stone fruit sweetness. We had this on our pour over bar for a while and it was excellent. We even put it on espresso for a bit and it was super tasty there too. This coffee overall is very versatile and works in any context you put it in.

Colombia

The country of Colombia (not Col-um-bia) boasts some pretty extraordinary claims to fame.

It is the world’s leading exporter of emeralds–exporting 70-90% of the world’s supply. It is the world's second most biodiverse country–with more species of bird than in Europe and North America combined. It has the world's tallest palm trees (up to 200 feet tall!) and the world’s most colorful “rainbow” river (Caño Cristales).

It is also the third largest producer of specialty coffee in the world, preceded only by Brazil and Vietnam. But it didn’t arrive at that place overnight.
