Finca Holguin Geisha

A washed process geisha variety produced by Emiliano Lame Golondrino in the La Plata region of Colombia.

For the fourth consecutive year we are so happy to welcome coffee produced by the Mártir group to our menu. This geisha microlot produced by group member Emiliano Lame Golondrino is soft and complex, showcasing delicate florals and crisp, fresh peach.

Our relationship with the Mártir group stretches all the way back to our earliest days and we’re proud to have increased the volumes purchased from them each year as our business has grown. As part of our strategy to delve deeper into our sourcing relationships rather than wider, this year we have selected six lots in total from the Mártir group that we’re looking forward to sharing throughout the year. The impeccable quality and consistency of these coffees each season is a credit to the organisation and dedication of the group members, and we feel privileged to be able to showcase them every year.

This particular lot was grown at group member Emiliano Lame Golondrino’s farm Finca Holguin in La Esperanza, La Plata. After picking, Emiliano floats, sorts and ferments his cherries for 12 hours before pulping and then wet fermenting for a further 24 hours, after which he washes the parchment and dries on raised beds for 25 days. The outcome is an exceptionally clean and clear representation of his geisha which we are looking forward to roasting and sharing over the coming months.
