This Geisha variety coffee is grown at the El Porvenir estate in the Palestina region of Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 1600 to 1800 meters. The coffee is processed using a dark-room dry honey method, which includes a 70-hour cold-water fermentation followed by a second 70-hour fermentation in a temperature-stable environment. The beans are then slow-dried in a dark room to ensure a controlled maturation process. The estate benefits from volcanic ash-enriched soil and significant diurnal temperature variations, contributing to the unique characteristics of this lot.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
