Roastery Reserve – Peñas Blancas Geisha

Description

The Story

A proud partnership between Peñas Blancas, Atlantic Specialty, and Coffeebar.

The Peñas Blancas Coffee Processing Center is more than just a processing facility—it is a social impact project designed to empower local coffee producers by providing them with access to state-of-the-art processing, technical training, and fair compensation. The center plays a crucial role in uplifting small-scale farmers and strengthening the specialty coffee ecosystem in Acevedo and Pitalito, Huila.

The exciting thing about this Geisha Washed lot is that it was sourced from multiple smallholder farmers in Pitalito-San Agustín, Huila, not a single producer. Having a processing facility being able to increase the coffee’s quality purely by controlling post harvest processing is a larger scale way a whole community of producers can make fair money, rather than a single producer.

By delivering their coffee cherries to Peñas Blancas, these producers benefit from centralized processing, ensuring higher quality and consistency while allowing them to focus on farm management and coffee cultivation.

This is a Geisha varietal that has undergone a muti-phase fermentation, followed by thermal shock. This creates an incredibly floral coffee, think extreme Lychee!
