Until the early 2000s, the area was heavily affected by guerrilla activity, and living conditions and infrastructure were underdeveloped. Reaching the farms required a four-hour drive on unpaved roads and crossing streams, making transportation extremely inconvenient. However, once on the farms, one could feel the immense potential hidden within this land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eWe are introducing a batch of \u003cstrong\u003eGeisha variety\u003c\/strong\u003e coffee processed by Jorge, who operates his own farm, \u003cstrong\u003e\"La Loca,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e in Planadas. He processes green beans for neighboring farmers and applies his exquisite processing techniques. The cherries used this time come from the \u003cstrong\u003eEl Paraiso farm\u003c\/strong\u003e in the highlands of Planadas, where Jorge uses his unique processing methods to unleash the full flavor potential of the Geisha variety.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eJorge comes from a third-generation coffee farming family in Planadas. About four to five years ago, he officially began to challenge himself with producing specialty coffee. His efforts paid off when he achieved third place in his first COE (Cup of Excellence) competition in 2022, and again qualified and placed in 2023, further solidifying his passion for coffee production. Simultaneously, his son has continued this passion, winning second place in a children's cupping competition, making them a very promising family of coffee producers.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe flavor profile of this \u003cstrong\u003eTypica variety\u003c\/strong\u003e is not so much \"delicate\" as it is distinctly vibrant and playfully fruity. We initially considered a dark roast, but to highlight more layers of fruit aroma, we ultimately chose a light roast. The overall profile is juicy with bright acidity, an addictive flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eWhen cupping, the first impression that came to mind was \"apple brandy.\" It was like the warm feeling of slowly sipping a hot apple brandy on a cold winter day. At the same time, it brought to mind dried fruit flavors with a sweet and sour touch, such as rum raisins and dried figs. As the temperature cooled, citrus notes reminiscent of oranges gradually emerged, adding more complex layers to the overall flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eImmediately after fresh roasting, the acidity has a slight fermented quality, giving a lively and vibrant impression; as time passes, this sensation gradually softens, transitioning into a more rounded and profound flavor structure. From a personal perspective, around the 15th day after roasting, the brightness and roundness achieve a better balance, making it a particularly recommended time to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThis coffee simultaneously showcases the \u003cstrong\u003erich fruitiness characteristic of the Planadas region\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJorge's refined processing craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eIts vivid and layered flavor profile, like a fine liquor, is truly worth savoring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PHILOCOFFEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59227920793681,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/7367\/2017\/files\/408-Photoroom.png?v=1774286164","url":"https:\/\/m3coffee.hk\/en\/products\/philocoffea-408-colombia-la-roca-typica-anaerobic-honey","provider":"M3 Coffee \u0026 Zakka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
