About This Coffee

This Colombian Gesha coffee is produced by Ignacio Rodriguez at La Palmera farm in Anserma, located at 1700-1850 meters above sea level. The coffee follows a distinctive washed process with a 36-hour aerobic fermentation in baskets before pulping, followed by a second 36-hour oxidation phase, then washing. Beans are mechanically dried for 140-150 hours at temperatures below 38°C. Coffee cherries undergo rigorous quality control through electronic sorting and hand-sorting by experienced groups. The cup profile features passion fruit, lime, and white peach notes, and is suggested for filter brewing.

His Majesty the Coffee

His Majesty the Coffee is based in Villasanta near Monza in Italy's Lombardy region. Founded in 2013 by Paolo Scimone, a certified Q Grader for both Arabica and Robusta, it was one of the first Italian roasteries to deal exclusively with specialty coffee, requiring a minimum 80+ cupping score with no primary defects. Paolo's love for England and the Royal family, developed during his years working as a barista in London from 2005 to 2009, inspired the name and the Anglo Italian duality that runs through the brand, from house blends named Londinium and Modoetia to two custom painted roasters called Elizabeth III and Teodolinda II. Green beans are stored in a dedicated cold room at a constant 12 degrees with 50 to 60 percent humidity, and roasting profiles are created specifically for different brew methods. A two time podium finisher at the Italian Coffee Roasting Championship and recognized as a Top 3 European Specialty Coffee Roastery in 2018, Paolo also travels worldwide as a consultant and trainer for the next generation of roasters. The operation combines Italian creativity and tradition with English innovation in a way that is entirely its own.
