INTRO

Mirra’s very first Colombian Geisha arrives in the form of this exceptional lot from Andres Jaramillo of Finca Isaza — and it more than delivers on the promise of the variety. All the hallmark delicateness and florality one expects from a great Geisha are present here, with an added layer of refined brightness and acidity that marks the very best Colombian expressions of this celebrated cultivar. In the cup, expect a wave of deep, syrupy hibiscus blossom, drifting into clouds of perfumed peony, with a finish of bright and citrussy lemongrass tea.

THE PRODUCER

Andres Jaramillo cultivates this exceptional Geisha at Finca Isaza, situated in the renowned growing region of Huila, Colombia. Huila has long been considered one of Colombia’s premier coffee-producing departments, benefiting from high altitudes, volcanic soils, and a climate that creates ideal conditions for slow cherry development and complex cup profiles.

Geisha has found a particularly sympathetic home in Colombia’s high-altitude farms in recent years, with producers like Andres pushing the boundaries of what Colombian coffee can achieve. The combination of Finca Isaza’s terroir and Andres’ meticulous farming practices has resulted in a lot with the refined clarity and florality that Mirra looks for in every offering.

THE PROCESS

The Washed process at Finca Isaza involves:

• 🍒 Harvest — Hand-picked at peak ripeness to ensure uniformity and sweetness
• ✅ Sorting — Cherries floated to remove defects and underdeveloped fruit
• 🔧 Depulping — Mechanical removal of the cherry skin
• 🧪 Fermentation — Dry fermentation in tanks to develop complexity
• 💧 Washing — Thorough washing to remove residual mucilage
• ☀️ Drying — Dried on raised beds to preserve floral and citrus clarity

The result is a coffee of extraordinary transparency — allowing the Geisha’s innate florality and refined acidity to shine without interference.

THE CUP

This Colombian Geisha from Andres Jaramillo is a study in elegance: deeply floral, bright, and citrussy, with a delicate, tea-like body that carries the flavours with effortless poise. It is precisely the kind of lot that reminds you why Geisha continues to captivate the specialty coffee world.
