Intro:

September is delighted to present Jorge Rojas Geisha, an exceptional Colombian Geisha that showcases the beautiful clarity and expressive sweetness that this variety is known for. Carefully sourced from a fourth‑generation producer and processed with thoughtful anaerobic fermentation, this lot offers a sparkling, elegant cup that highlights both varietal nuance and refined experimental technique.

The Producer:

Jorge Rojas is a fourth‑generation coffee producer from Planadas in Tolima, Colombia. Introduced to coffee farming at the age of 13 by his mother, Jorge spent his early years learning every stage of coffee cultivation, harvesting, and preparation. After gaining experience as a bag handler with a local association, he expanded his knowledge and began working with specialty coffee in earnest around 2016. Since then, Jorge has dedicated himself to refining his approach — especially in fermentation and drying — to elevate the inherent qualities of his microlots.

The Process:

This Geisha lot is anaerobic washed, starting with a meticulous hand‑selection of ripe cherries during harvest. The selected cherries are placed into an oxygen‑free sealed tank, where specific microbes break down naturally occurring sugars and acids in a controlled environment. After this fermentation phase, the coffee is depulped, washed, and carefully dried — a process that enhances clarity, sweetness, and complexity without overwhelming the delicate varietal character.

The Cup:

In the cup, Jorge Rojas Geisha is bright, clean, and wonderfully expressive. The first impression is a sweet Pink Starburst 🍬‑like candy sweetness, gently supported by delicate white floral 🌸 aromatics that give it a perfumed lift. A subtle bergamot 🍊 finish adds refreshing citrus clarity and balance. The body is light with a sparkling, elegant finish, making this a compelling filter coffee for lovers of refined, nuanced cups.

Overall:

September’s Jorge Rojas Geisha is a beautiful example of how careful farm practice, experimental fermentation, and varietal excellence can come together to produce a truly standout coffee. With its cotton‑like sweetness, delicate floral layers, and citrus brightness, this lot is a testament to both the talent of its producer and the expressive potential of Geisha coffee from Colombia.
