The farm lies in the highest part of Sotará, around 30 minutes from the regional capital Popayán. It serves not only as a place to cultivate top-tier coffee but also as a center for training other producers. Juan Martin focuses on environmentally sustainable practices and precise processing—key elements in producing some of the best coffees in Colombia.
This Gesha was washed processed, a method that perfectly highlights the clarity and purity of flavors. After handpicking, the cherries are carefully depulped and fermented before undergoing final washing and drying. Thanks to this meticulous approach, the coffee preserves its natural sweetness, floral character, and sparkling acidity. The result? An incredibly clean and elegant cup that perfectly showcases why Gesha is one of the most sought-after varieties in the world.
