La Trinidad Geisha - Colombia

Tasting notes: Floral and refreshing. Melon, lemon and black tea.

In the tropical cloud forest along the Andes mountain ridges lies the 130-year-old coffee farm La Trinidad. From being one of Colombia's largest coffee farms in the 20th century, they now focus on a small production of exotic varieties.

Geisha is a rare and relatively young bean variety that is highly sought after. Many consider it to be the most interesting in the coffee world in terms of flavor intensity and complexity. The plant grows taller than other coffee bushes and has long, narrow leaves and berries. In order for the full potential of the bean to be realized, Geisha should be grown very high above sea level. In the cup, the bean type is characterized by a very pure sweetness, often with hints of berries and stone fruits and a fresh finish characterized by bergamot.
