Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Geisha variety from Colombia, produced by Sebastián Ramírez at El Placer Farms in the Quindío region at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,600 meters above sea level. The coffee undergoes a white honey process with carbonic maceration, where cherries are placed in closed tanks for 48 hours of carbonic maceration, then depulped and lightly washed leaving some mucilage on the parchment. The parchment coffee is dried slowly on patios under controlled conditions until reaching 9-11% humidity. The flavor profile features peach, orange, lemongrass, chamomile, and floral notes. El Placer Farms is a fourth-generation coffee project that currently operates across 6 farms in Colombia's Coffee Axis region.
