Los Magnificos Geisha comes from Colombia, from Huila and the San Agustín area. Its cup profile is true to the Geishavariety: light, elegant, and silky. Expect notes likecitrus, jasmine, and fruit candy. And as good as it tastes, the story behind it is even bigger.
Los Magnificos was created to solve a very practical problem: many producers in San Agustín farm such small plots that their harvest volumes are too tiny to be sold as individual lots. For this coffee, Semilla Coffee and Monkaaba brought together small, but outstanding, Geisha lots from five different farms into one combined lot that is large enough to be exported and sold. Without this, these exceptional microlots wouldn’t receive the recognition or price they deserve, and would likely disappear into larger, generic blends. Thanks to Semilla Coffee’s and Monkaabas work, this coffee gets to stand on its own.
The coffee was produced by Orlando Quinayas, Diana Quinayas, Jose Omar Muñoz, Rovira Salamanca, and Stiven Hoyos on their farms around San Agustín.
