Here's what Falcon Speciality the imports of this coffee had to say about it
Inmaculada Coffee Farms is in the village of Pichindé, acounty in the municipality of Cali, located within the state of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This area is surrounded by the Farallones National Park, in the Andes mountain range with an elevation between 1,700 and 2,000 meters above sea level.
The Holguin Ramos belongs to a family with a profound tradition in the agroindustry sector for over ninety years. They have seen the richness and generosity of this land.
In 2010 they decided to create "Inmaculada Coffee Farms" as a way of giving back in a sustainable way the love and happiness they have received from the community of Pichindé. lt has been almost a decade since they engaged in a dream of planting coffee in a territory that was merely in pasture and brush, but thanks to its nature, altitude, climate, beauty and lots of work, it has turned out to be the perfect environment for planting exotic coffee varieties.
They have planted some of the finest beans ever grown on earth. The plantation is surrounded with the most diverse cover plants like: guamo, acacias, lemon, guabos, citronella, and a legume shrub called tephrosia making this natural habitat the perfect shade for producing the most delicious exotic coffee beans. They never imagined that these selected beans that arrived to this land would be génerous enough to produce one of the best coffee aromas and flavors of the world. That is why with a cup we can drink a complex Bourbon, a fruitful Gesha, an aromatic Eugenioides, an intense Sudan Rume or a light Laurina.
HISTORY
Agroforestry is a land-use system in which trees or shrubs are grown in association with agricultural crops, pastures or livestock. Inmaculada plantation
was designed to create certain optimal vegetable conditions; aimed to exotic variety coffee production. This means that instead of producing more Kg/Ha we search to continuously improve our cup quality
Geisha, sometimes referred to as Gesha, is a variety of coffee. It is considered to produce a very aromatic and floral cup of coffee and the demand for it has grown in recent years. To explain why people like geisha first there is a need to explain how the coffee industry looks at quality. As an industry the coffee world has informally agreed and generally calibrated that certain flavors and sensations are better than others. This concept of better is built on the idea that if a flavor or sensation is rarer or more clearly perceived it is superior. The flavors though must be driven by either fruit, tea, and or florality.
The farm in total is 59.15 ha with 34.15 Ha with coffee and 11.14 Ha of forest and 13 ha of buildings and gardens. On the farm there is planted geisha, Laurina, Euegnoides and Rume Sudan.
This lot is Geisha and is processed in the natural process. The coffee is carefully hand picked and then undergoes a second selection an classification to ensure uniformity and ripeness. The coffee is then dried on raised beds for approximately 20 days.
After the process the coffee is rested and then cupped and assigned to the categories of wither Family Reserve or Signature depending on the cup quality and profile.
Geisha in the cup is complex, floral, expressive, clear, vibrant, and delicious. It is a unique coffee that has attracted prices because of this uniqueness. A lot of what is delicious about geisha can be traced back to its origin, Ethiopia.
