The farm is owned by Roberto Carlos Palomino Flores, who has been growing the Geisha variety since 2018, with the first harvest taking place in 2020. The coffee is processed using the anaerobic washed method, where the ripest cherries are rested, passed through a pulper, fermented for 48 hours, then washed and dried for 14 to 16 days. This processing method gives the coffee its typically clean flavor profile with higher acidity and distinctive fruity notes.
