About the Farm
Finca Araya Acuña is owned and managed by Juan Jose Araya Acuña. In 2009, around the time that the micro mill trend began to take hold in the area, Juan Jose started to make changes to the farm. He began planting different varietals in search of a distinctive and higher quality cup profile, and adjusting to the farm management system. These changes afforded him the opportunity to work with Coopronaranjo’s micro lot program. This program captures specialty quality lots and aims to work with farms and growers who are consistently producing high- quality coffee. Juan Jose is working to one day win the Cup of Excellence.
Costa Rica Geisha (or Gesha)
Geisha is a variety of the Arabica Coffee plant first discovered in Ethiopia. It currently grows in most of the main coffee growing areas of the world. It has a taste profile that is sweeter than other coffees and is floral, lightly fruity, bright and tea like.
Geisha coffee has become the most desired and expensive coffee in the world, sometimes selling for more than $1000 per pound at auction. It is a larger coffee tree, has a lower yield, and is more susceptible to disease. These factors contribute to the scarcity of the coffee it produces and the high demand for it causes the price to escalate to never seen levels.
This coffee has a bright lemony and floral note and is super sweet!
