The Colombia Finca Costa Rica Geisha from Prodigal Coffee is a cup that takes you on a journey to the sunny hills of Huila. The very first sip envelops you with the delicate fruitiness of white grapes, followed by the juicy sweetness of peach, and finally unfolds with a refreshing citrus acidity reminiscent of grapefruit. This is a coffee that has both elegance and power - like a summer breeze in a tropical orchard. Pure, sophisticated and unforgettable, just the way a Geisha should be.
This coffee comes from the Finca Costa Rica farm, run with love and precision by experienced farmer Faver Ninco and his family. The farm is located at an exceptional altitude of 2005 metres above sea level in the Colombian mountains and covers an area of 10 hectares. Nearly 20 000 coffee trees of varieties such as Caturra, Bourbon, Java, Papayo and, of course, the rare Geisha, which gave rise to this particular lot, grow here. Prodigal Coffee chose this coffee as their second selection from this farm - and no wonder. With its balanced, subtly fruity flavour profile, it impressed so much that it initially only reached subscribers. It is, in short, an exceptional coffee that deserves your attention.
The coffee has been processed using the washed method. First, only fully ripe cherries were hand-picked and then sorted by density. After dehulling, the coffee beans were fermented immersed in a small amount of water for 24 hours. This step helped to subtly develop the flavour profile and bring out the fruity notes. The beans were then washed twice and then dried in the shade on raised beds for 18 to 25 days to achieve even drying and maintain the purity and complexity of the final cup.
