Haan Coffee

About This Coffee

A Geisha variety coffee from Rodrigo Sánchez's Monteblanco estate in Huila, Colombia, grown at 1730 MASL. First planted in 2015, the Geisha trees have adapted to Monteblanco's terroir over years of careful farm management. Cherries are selectively harvested at peak ripeness, floated, then pulped and sealed in GrainPro bags for an extended 76-hour cold fermentation at approximately 12°C. The washed and dried beans offer tasting notes of yuzu, Korean pear, and chamomile.

Haan Coffee

Hong Shin, Suzie Shin, and Kenneth Kuk opened Haan in Orlando, Florida in late 2022, bringing Korean coffee traditions to the American South. The name, from the Korean word han (한), signals a search for identity, and the space reflects that: built in shelves lined with pottery and art, natural materials, and a geometry drawn from Korean architectural practice. Roasting happens twice weekly on a small 2.5 kilo Diedrich, with each coffee's origin dictating its profile. The drink menu draws on Korean cafe culture, including a Seoul Iced Coffee modeled on the classic dabang style and a SuJungGwa Latte inspired by a traditional Korean dessert tea. Suzie Shin's artwork lines the walls, and the operation runs plastic free with reusable tableware. Every drink is priced under six dollars.
