This Geisha variety coffee originates from Finca El Paraiso in El Paraiso, Cauca, Colombia, at 1930 meters elevation. Produced by Samuel Diego Bermudez, it undergoes an anti-maceration process that creates a vacuum environment with pressure below 1 bar, mimicking space-like conditions. This experimental technique activates unique microbes, producing an unusual cup profile with notes of violets, rosehip, and berry jam.
