Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Geisha varietal from Colombia, specifically produced by Wilder Lazo in the Quindio region at an altitude of 1,740-2,100 meters. It undergoes a Natural Extended Fermentation process, where cherries are selected through flotation and fermented in plastic tanks with mucilage from Geisha and SL28 cherries for 7 days, maintaining pH above 5, then dried on the patio for approximately 25 days. The coffee presents a distinctive sensory profile with notes of watermelon, jasmine, green apple, and chamomile. Wilder Lazo, originally from a background in bovine genetics, transformed his family farm 'El Diviso' and later purchased Bella Alexandria farm in 2016, now part of El Placer Farms project.
