Jorge Rojas was born in 1988. At the tender age of just 12 years old he lost his father and started to work together with his mother on the family-owned coffee farm. He finished his school carreer after the 3rd grade and dedicated his life to coffee. He always wanted to produce high-end coffee and soon started to be part of the association called ASOPEP Planadas. From the beginning he has been using techniques of ecological agriculture and together with other 300 farms they acheived their organic BIO certificate via ASOPEP.
 
This competition Geisha lot has been fermented in two steps for a total of 48 hours. The first 24 hours in buckets with lids in whole cherry, where the anaerobic fermentation began with a pH of 6.2. He pulped the coffee and put it in a closed vessel for a further 24 hours, where it finished with a pH of 4.
 
The coffee was then also dried in two steps: the first one in “Paseras”, where the temperature reached maximum 26 °C and the second one in “Marquesina”, where temperatures reached up to 34 °C. The total drying time was 28 days with an average of 4 hours of sunlight. The nanolot was then milled at the Desarolladores de Café dry milling station at  in Medellín, and then manually sorted bean by bean!
 
The result is a beautiful coffee that highlights exactly what you would expect from a Geisha: intense floral flavors, a mouth-watering body, and some orange stone-fruits paired with juicy, sweet tangerine acidity.
