Aroma Nativo Geisha (Huila, Colombia)

Aroma Nativo Geisha (Huila, Colombia)
☕ An Exclusive Coffee

This unique 10 kg lot is available exclusively at L'Autre Café—the only place where it can be tasted.

An outstanding Geisha with complex and refined aromas.

This nano-lot comes from Acevedo, Huila, a remarkable terroir nestled in Colombia’s Eastern Cordillera. Once considered a high-risk area, this region is now recognized as a true paradise for specialty coffee, thanks to its unique microclimate and the dedication of its producers.

This coffee is part of the Veci Project, an initiative launched in 2022 by Luis Marcelino, founder of Aroma Nativo. This collaborative project supports producers with exceptional farming practices but lacking the infrastructure to process their coffee. Aroma Nativo provides a solution by purchasing their cherries at premium prices and handling post-harvest processing in its own facilities in Pitalito, Huila. Each lot is fully traceable and never blended, ensuring that its unique identity is preserved.

This natural anaerobic Geisha underwent 180 hours of cherry fermentation in sealed barrels, followed by a slow 25-day drying process in a parabolic greenhouse, and then stabilized for three months in a controlled-temperature room. This meticulous process enhances its delicate and intricate flavor profile.

In the cup, Aroma Nativo Geisha unveils fascinating complexity: an opening of spiced chocolate and mango, followed by layers of panela, plum, and citrus, leading to a long-lasting finish of dark chocolate and yellow fruits. Its medium acidity and compact body create a remarkable balance.
