What impressed us with this coffee?

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.

FOR THE COFFEE

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, FLAVOR, REAPEAT!

Our coffee roasting adventure began in 2021 when we decided to “roast it ourselves” for the Bulgarian AeroPress Championship. What started with a ROEST sample roaster quickly turned into something much more serious (and much more delicious). By 2024, we leveled up to the Stronghold S7 Pro - because if we’re going to do magic, we might as well have the best wand in the game.

Every coffee in our selection has to pass the ultimate “Wow!” test at the cupping table and win at least 2 out of 3 votes from our team. No vote? No chance. Our head roaster, Hristo, is the mastermind behind every batch - a perfectionist who won’t rest until the cup feels like pure magic. And since we believe every cup can be better, every customer becomes a tester whose feedback we’re eager to hear. It’s how we keep getting better, one roast at a time.
