Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Linarco Rodriguez is a celebrated Colombian producer and a Cup of Excellence winner, and this lot comes from his Finca Betania in Huila. The farm runs across 42 hectares, five of which are kept as native forest, and the operation is a true family affair that began with Linarco's grandparents and today involves his mother and sisters.

The processing is meticulous. Cherries go through 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation, followed by a separate 48 hours of aerobic oxidation, not fermentation, before the coffee is fully washed. It then dries on raised beds for around 12 days and is carefully milled at Desarrolladores de Cafe. The result is a cup with vivid, clearly defined red fruit and a balanced acidity that keeps it remarkably easy to drink.

How to Brew Colombia Linarco Rodriguez Red Geisha

Tasting too sharp or thin? Grind a little finer to build sweetness and body. If it turns bitter or heavy, go slightly coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At about 15g per filter cup, a 150g bag makes roughly 10 cups, a 500g bag around 33 cups, and a 1kg bag close to 65 cups. As a Cup of Excellence Red Geisha, this is a rare, special-occasion coffee, so savour each brew slowly.
