Quick Guide

What is this coffee?

Natalia was among the few producers we had the chance to interact with throughout our trip to San Augustin in 2024. Her entire family to some degree is completely dedicated to the craft of specialty coffee. In fact, each of the extended family members has domain over individual farms throughout the region. This vibrant lot of coffee comes from Natalia's farm and is processed to amplify the intricate fruited notes. There’s notes of funky fermentation that are excellently integrated into the sweet and complex profile.

• Gesha

Every industry has its "before and after" moment. Movies had Star Wars. Basketball had Michael Jordan. Smartphones had the iPhone.

For specialty coffee, that moment was 2004—the year Gesha changed everything.

When Hacienda La Esmeralda's Gesha stunned judges at the Best of Panama auction with its unprecedented floral notes and jasmine-like aromatics, it didn't just win. It revolutionized what people believed coffee could be.

Fermentation & Experimental Processes •

Experimental processing uses carefully controlled fermentation techniques to push coffee’s flavor in new directions—sweeter, fruitier, and sometimes dramatically unique. But as these methods become more common, a question emerges: are these innovations enhancing what makes coffee special—or beginning to overshadow the classic profiles we once found remarkable?

This coffee was fermented for three days in cherry and processed as a natural.

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.
