About Colombia Milton Monroy Geisha Natural

Arrived June 2026 in vacuum bags. This is a Direct Import coffee from a first place award producer in Colombia that arrived to us via airfreight. It represents an excellent bargain for Geisha coffee lovers. In the most recent year, demand for Milton Monroy's coffee and his Geisha in particular, is increasing. We cupped and approved this lot on the spot for its quality and value proposition. It's quite floral with the addition of sweet candy and background note of vanilla bean. We have a very limited amount of this coffee.
