Country: Ecuador
Region: Loja
Area: La Papaya
Farm: Finca Galo Sandobal
Altitude: 1,900 m
Variety: Typica Mejorado
Harvest: July 2026
Process: Washed
Flavor notes: Raspberry, Prune, Cranberry candy, Mixed berries
About Beans:
La Papaya is located in the northern part of Ecuador’s Loja region. Two of our favorite farms—Alaska del Sur and Hacienda LLavecocha—are also situated here. Although the area produces small quantities of Geisha and Sidra, Typica Mejorado is the variety that truly thrives in this terroir.
Situated at 1,900 meters, Finca Galo Sandobal specially prepared this washed Typica Mejorado for us upon learning about our Ecuador origin trip in August. Throughout multiple rounds of blind cupping—where more than thirty coffees were evaluated and gradually eliminated—this lot consistently made it onto our shortlist thanks to its exceptionally vivid berry character.
Berry and stone-fruit notes define this washed Typica Mejorado: raspberry, cranberry, and prune. The acidity is bright, the sweetness full, and the mouthfeel refined—like a washed Kenya that has been elevated in texture, acidity, and sweetness.
Country: Colombia
Region: Nariño
Area: Buesaco
Farm: Finca San Antonio
Altitude: 2,100 m
Producers: Nilson Luis López & Lida Cielo López
Variety: Geisha
Harvest: June–July 2026
Process: Washed
Flavor notes: Hibiscus, Sweet orange, Peach juice, Compound fruit juice
About Beans:
Over the past year we have released ten Colombian coffees, and the one that moved us most was the washed Geisha from Finca San Antonio. For the 2026 harvest we closely followed the picking progress in Nariño and secured this lot as soon as it became available.
What impresses us most about this coffee is its exceptional sweetness and velvety, juice-like texture. At higher temperatures it offers aromas of hibiscus, sweet orange and red berries. As the cup cools, the body becomes increasingly rich and juicy—reminiscent of peach juice or a complex fruit nectar. This is when the true “velvet” mouthfeel becomes unmistakable.
Finca San Antonio sits at 2,100 meters. With the support of our long-term partner Inconexus, farm owners Nilson López and Cielo López have embarked on a journey of specialty production. The unique terroir of Nariño, the careful and dedicated management by Nilson and Cielo, and the technical guidance of Inconexus have together created this washed Geisha that we love deeply.
Country: Colombia
Region: Nariño
Area: Buesaco
Farm: Finca San Antonio
Altitude: 2,100 m
Producers: Nilson Luis López & Lida Cielo López
Variety: Geisha
Harvest: June–July 2026
Process: Semi-washed
Flavor notes: Floral, orange candy, sweet apricot, honey tangerine, black plum
About Beans:
Finca San Antonio in Nariño is one of our favorite farms in Colombia. While the washed Geisha is known for its floral notes, citrus, and juicy character, this semi-washed Geisha—thanks to the retention of some mucilage—shows more pronounced candy and honey-like sweetness. The cup evokes orange candy, honey tangerine, ripe sweet apricot, and black plum.
Compared with a traditional fully washed process, semi-washed involves less intensive washing and leaves a portion of the natural mucilage intact during drying. Through a slow and gradual drying process, this residual mucilage is transformed into richer sweetness and distinctive flavor complexity, while still preserving the clarity and varietal character expected of Geisha.

Producers: Nilson Luis López & Lida Cielo López
Variety: Pink Bourbon
Harvest: June–July 2026
Process: Washed
Flavor notes: Ugly tangerine, Cranberry, Red berries, Red plum
About beans:
Pink Bourbon has long been a signature variety of Colombia. Thanks to the excellent soil, climate, and altitude of the Nariño region, the Pink Bourbon grown here typically shows bright acidity, full sweetness, and a velvety, silky, and rich mouthfeel.
Finca San Antonio is run by Nilson López and Cielo López. The couple has long focused on quality improvement and varietal diversification, gradually introducing distinctive varieties such as Pink Bourbon, Geisha, and Sidra. With technical support from InConexus, they continue to explore the potential of different varieties in the high-altitude areas of Nariño.
This washed Pink Bourbon fully expresses the variety’s outstanding performance at Finca San Antonio: vibrant berries, juicy ugly tangerine, and bright red-plum acidity clearly showcase the unique character of Pink Bourbon.
