Julian and his family have been cultivating coffee in the Luya region for years, but their lives changed when they started focusing on specialty quality. In 2021, he planted a Gesha variety on his farm, seeing the success of other producers. Julian’s Gesha crop is not yet at the critical mass to be economically exportable, so our importer created a blend from Julian’s and another producer, Cleber Cordoba’s, natural-processed Gesha batch. Cleber also comes from a coffee-grower family and represents the younger generation, who are willing to break with tradition and boldly experiment with new processing methods and exotic varieties.
