Whole bean Horizonte GENIAL – Colombia
Description
With a light roast for gentle methods, Christoph serves us a rich, intense and complex coffee where blueberry and tropical fruits blend harmoniously.
Genial comes from the Granja La Esperanza farm. Founded in 1930, the plantation, now owned by Don Miguel Herrera, was a family-owned and operated plantation for three generations.
Located in the Valle del Cauca region of southwestern Colombia, this mountainous region owes its name to the Cauca River which crosses it from South to North.
The presence of the Pacific coast, the Cordillera Occidental, the Rio Cauca Valley and a multitude of ecosystems is conducive to the development of complex, subtle and unique coffees.
Over the years, they decided to invest even more in quality by entering the demanding world of specialty coffees.
Their efforts were rewarded in 1912. Three of their coffees finished in the selection of the 10 best coffees of the year organised by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA).

Gil's opinion
We love this coffee and prefer it in Chemex. Its delicacy and fruity notes in the aftertaste make it very pleasant. Try letting it cool a bit, its delicate acidity will be even more pronounced. We have identified some tropical fruits, but we'll let you discover which ones for yourself. Write to us and let us know what you find.
