We already knew the farm sits at 2,200 meters, but being there in person revealed far more than a number. From the farm you take in sweeping views of the Andes mountains and valleys. In the relatively dry Loja region, this place is a vivid green oasis. Coffee trees grow healthily under dense, diverse shade trees—leaves lush and green, cherries bright red, white flowers in bloom, trunks sturdy. With unusually wide row spacing, the coffee plants develop extensive root systems and appear to thrive in this environment. This lot represents one of the finest expressions of Geisha terroir in Ecuador. The variety’s signature intense white floral notes and bergamot combine with the high sweetness and berry character typical of Ecuadorian coffees, delivering a raspberry-candy-like sweetness supported by a solid, fine, and rounded mouthfeel.
