Three varieties (Geisha, Ají and Rosado) from progressive Colombian producers Pedro Lugo, Jefferson Motta and Henry Bonilla, brought together for the first Advanced Washed edition of Sweven’s seasonal espresso collaboration with Cata Export.

Geisha Inca (SL9), a noble cultivar, from the experienced producer Franco Huaches in Cajamarca, Peru, and one of the most intricate Peruvian coffees Sweven has tasted.
