Marleny Imbachi's Geisha from San Augustin, Kennedy region, Colombia, grown at 1,650 meters altitude. This washed coffee is from the producer's first substantial harvest of Geisha trees planted in 2020. The beans exhibit soft and delicate characteristics with floral honey and tea-like aromatics, featuring lively citrus acidity and tropical fruit notes including mango, honeydew melon, and papaya.
Bow Smith, Holden Curran, and Jessi Lee Cord launched Rowan Coffee in October 2020 as a mobile espresso operation in Asheville, North Carolina, growing quickly into a permanent home. Bow brings nearly a decade of barista, roasting, and management experience, and began roasting in house in January 2023 on a 15 kilo Mill City Roasters machine. Rowan centers mainly on washed process coffees, prizing clarity and complexity, with green beans sourced from specialty importers including Semilla, Osito, Red Fox Coffee Merchants, and The Coffee Quest. Everything is roasted to order on Tuesdays and shipped the following day. The approach is deliberate and seasonal, letting each coffee speak to where and how it was grown.
