This Geisha coffee is from the Ciudad Bolivar region of Antioquia, Colombia, grown at Finca La Reserva at 1900-2000 meters altitude. The coffee undergoes a 96-hour anaerobic honey process where cherries are depulped with mucilage retained, then fermented anaerobically in sealed 200-liter tanks for 96 hours before being sun dried. Harvested between October and December, this coffee features floral hibiscus and pomegranate notes with bright flavor and classic cleanness from the partial washing process.
Pair Cupworks is a specialty micro roastery in Mesa, Arizona, founded by Kimhak Em and Eugenia Tai. Kimhak brings over 30 years of food service experience and a culinary background; Eugenia combines structural engineering with commercial illustration and handles the brand's visual identity. They began roasting in 2017, initially selling beans online while working day jobs, and opened their first coffee bar in 2020. Food & Wine Magazine named them Best Coffee Roaster in the state in 2022. They roast in small batches with the goal of developing clean flavours that respect the work of farmers and producers. Wholesale clients now stretch across the US and into Europe and Asia.
