Origen Tierra Grata - Gesha
Tierra Grata – A Story of Resilience, Hope and Excellence
In the mountains of Pácora, in the heart of Caldas, coffee is deeply rooted in the land, family traditions and the resilience of the people who cultivate it.
This is where Lina María Cardona grows her coffee at Finca Tierra Grata. Her family’s journey has not always been easy. After experiencing forced displacement and profound personal loss, Lina chose to remain connected to her roots and continue cultivating the land. Today, coffee represents renewal, hope and the opportunity to preserve her family’s farming heritage.
At Tierra Grata, every harvest reflects Lina’s dedication to quality and her passion for exploring the potential of Colombian coffee.
The Coffee
This exceptional Geisha is carefully selected from fully ripe cherries and processed using a semi-washed method.
The process begins with 48 hours of fermentation in whole cherry, inside hermetically sealed containers. The coffee is then depulped and undergoes a second 48-hour fermentation. Once complete, excess mucilage is removed before the beans move to the drying stage.
This two-stage fermentation contributes to the distinctive character of this lot, reflecting the careful work behind every bean.
The Cup Profile
A sweet and expressive cup with notes of blackberry, strawberry, caramel and brown sugar. Medium citrus acidity brings freshness, while its silky body and syrupy aftertaste create a pleasant and lingering finish.
A coffee that brings together the elegance of Geisha, the character of Caldas and the dedication of Lina, the woman behind its cultivation.
