The Origin

This exceptional Geisha comes from the Puerto Arturo farm in Támesis, Antioquia (Colombia).

At a proud altitude of 1,900 meters, the trees grow in a unique terroir fed by numerous natural mineral water springs. This special environment gives the coffee its extraordinary vitality and purity.

Preparation & Harvesting

King Arthur is a microlot that undergoes a highly complex process. The cherries are hand-picked at optimal sugar content.

This is followed by a 90-hour cherry fermentation, pulping, and another 90-hour fermentation in the mucilage.

Subsequently, the coffee dries using the honey process on African raised beds. The result is an iconic profile: floral, sweet, and complex.

The Philosophy

The producer Elkin Arcila pursues a regenerative approach that he lovingly calls "Ruana and Sombrero":

The Ruana: A protective layer of organic material at the roots, which preserves moisture and nourishes the soil.
The Sombrero: A natural canopy of over ten different shade tree species that protects the Geisha trees from direct sun and promotes a healthy ecosystem without the use of chemicals.

Elkin Arcila is not only an innovative coffee producer, but also a visionary for his community. He founded the first barista school for children in Támesis to instill pride and expertise in specialty coffee in the next generation. By purchasing this coffee, we directly support this social project and sustainable, regenerative agriculture.
