About Colombia Geisha, Jairo Arcila
A rare Colombian Geisha from one of the most respected coffee families in the country.
Colombia Geisha from Jairo Arcila is a single producer, single variety microlot. Roasted weekly at our Hurstville roastery in Sydney.

This lot delivers the classic Geisha character: rose, jasmine, stone fruit and a long tea-like finish.
Flavour notes
- Rose and jasmine florals on the aroma
- Cherry sweetness through the body
- Lime brightness on the finish, tea-like and clean
