      Paola y Carlos Trujillo - Geisha [natural] — Colombia

      Paola & Carlos Trujillo are dedicated coffee growers. Paola, Carlos & their family own Patio Bonito, an 11-hectare farm, located in Caldono, Cauca. They are well-known in the area for growing high-quality coffee. There is a large variety of cultivars grown on the farm, Castillo, V. Colombia, Pink Bourbon, Pacamara, Aji, Sidra, SL28, Wush Wush, Typica, Laurina & this Geisha lot. Paola studied chemical engineering, & after her studies, she realised she wanted to join Carlos & support the family, producing coffee. This Geisha was processed naturally, the ripest cherries were selected for processing, floated to remove defects, hand-sorted & then placed on raised beds in a covered area to dry for 14 days.

      In 1931, a British ambassador picked a selection of coffee berries in Southwest Ethiopia near a village called Gesha. In 1932 seeds from these plants were sent to Kenya. In 1936 seedlings were sent to Uganda & Tanzania. In the mid 50's seeds were sent from Tanzania to Costa Rica, where trials began. In 1963 Don Pachi Serracin brought some Geisha seeds to Panama, but attempts to grow Geisha were axed due to poor flavour, [most likely caused by the plants growing at too low an altitude]. Geisha, was then forgotten about until 2002 when Daniel Peterson from Hacienda Esmeralda decided to cup coffee from different parts of his farm & came across this extraordinary coffee we know as Geisha.
