INTRO From Jaime and Juan Pablo's El Escarabajo processing station in Tolima — a Hybrid Washed Geisha showcasing the delicate side of this celebrated farm. White floral aromatics lead, with bergamot and apricot sweetness layered underneath a white tea-like structure. In the cup: white floral, bergamot, apricot, and white tea.

THE PRODUCER El Escarabajo Farm is a specialty coffee processing station in Tolima, Colombia, founded by Jaime and Juan Pablo, drawing on decades of coffee industry experience to showcase the classic flavour profiles typical of Tolima's terroir. Nestled in the Andes Mountains, the farm benefits from volcanic soil and diverse microclimates that build remarkable flavour complexity. Jaime oversees the full supply chain — farm management, processing, and quality control — while Juan Pablo leads operations and trade development, connecting local producers with the global specialty market.

THE PROCESS This lot uses a Hybrid Washed process — combining elements of both washed and natural methods to build layered complexity while preserving Geisha's naturally delicate, floral character.

The hybrid approach is the defining detail here — it's what allows the bergamot and apricot sweetness to develop alongside the variety's classic white floral and tea-like clarity.

THE CUP Delicate and layered — white floral aromatics up front, bergamot brightness and apricot sweetness through the middle, and a white tea structure on the finish. A refined showcase of El Escarabajo's Geisha work.
