с какво ни впечатли това кафе?

For the Bulgarian AeroPress Championship, we wanted a coffee that would challenge competitors, excite the judges, and deliver a memorable cup. This Geisha from Yenifer Rojas stood out immediately: a honey-processed gem from Huila, bursting with notes of cherry, white peach, and honey, definitely not your typical Geisha. It’s expressive yet balanced, with vibrant sweetness, layered floral, and a syrupy texture that performs beautifully on the AeroPress. Beyond taste, it carries a story of craftsmanship - from precise anaerobic fermentation to slow drying - that reflects everything we value in specialty coffee. A coffee worthy of the stage.

ЗА КАФЕТО

This stunning Geisha lot comes from Yenifer Rojas, a passionate producer based in Gigante, Huila, Colombia. Her farm, Finca Varietales, spans 4 hectares at altitudes between 1,750–1,800 meters, where rich soils and cool mountain air create ideal conditions for cultivating high-end varieties like Geisha, Borbón Rosado, and Whush Whush.

Yenifer’s journey in coffee began with cupping classes 15 years ago - a starting point that sparked her obsession with flavour, quality, and the potential of specialty coffee. Today, she blends deep-rooted family tradition with innovative processing techniques, setting new standards in her region.

This particular lot was processed using the honey method with a precise and deliberate fermentation sequence:
• 24 hours of fermentation in cherry to build fruit complexity
• Followed by 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation post-depulping
• Then dried in a parabolic dryer over 15 days, allowing sugars and acidity to develop gradually

The result is a cup that delivers bright cherry-like juiciness, the soft sweetness of white peach, and a smooth honey-like finish, layered with delicate florals and tropical undertones. It’s clean, vibrant, and structurally complex - a profile that lands it squarely in our Sweet – Orange collection, dedicated to lively sweetness and refined fruit expression.

We chose this coffee as the competition coffee for the Bulgarian AeroPress Championship 2025, not just for its flavour profile, but for its versatility and performance. Whether dialed in for clarity or body, the coffee opened up in beautiful ways on the AeroPress, rewarding both precision and creativity.

Above all, this coffee is a reflection of Yenifer’s unwavering attention to detail - from fermentation to drying - and her commitment to sustainable, quality-driven farming. It’s a coffee with a story, and a cup that lingers.

SIP, FLAVOUR, REAPEAT!

Winning Recipe

Position:
Inverted

Coffee:
Yenifer Rojas Honey Anaerobic Gesha (via Equation Coffee; roasted by Drekka)
15g — ground at 1Zpresso ZP6 Special 5.9 (or 900 microns)

Water:
Brita-filtered official competition water at 88°C

Filters:
1 x Sibarist B3 Disc (in contact with coffee bed)
1 x hand-cut Cafec Abaca (in contact with filter cap)

Method:

1. Set up inverted AeroPress.
2. Add 135g of water at 88°C (don’t start the timer just yet).
3. Add your 15g of ground coffee and immediately start the timer.
4. Stir gently (back and forth only) to fully saturate the coffee (no intense agitation) — this should take anywhere from 10 to 15 seconds.
5. Rinse filters and drain excess water from the filter cap. Now is also a good time to prepare a bit of room temperature water in a separate cup/vessel, if you haven't already.
6. At 0:45, screw the filter cap onto the AeroPress, then slowly push the excess air out of the brewer.
7. At 1:00, flip the AeroPress onto your server/vessel of choice, then swirl!
8. At 1:30, start pressing down, slow and steady, for a full minute!
9. At 2:30, your brew should be done.
10. Add 35g of (now 84°-ish) bypass water from the kettle.
11. Add 35g of room temperature bypass water.
12. Swirl vigorously to mix and decant; serve and enjoy.
