The fourth consecutive year of this Geisha from Finca Irlanda in Chiapas, Latin America's oldest biodynamic farm, run by its third and fourth generations and a Henauer partner for generations. A natural, cold-anaerobic lot made especially for Henauer: elegant, with orange, blueberry and hazelnut and a long finish.

Orange, Blueberry, Hazelnut

A natural from Kayon Mountain, a 500-hectare farm (300 under coffee) managed since 2012 by Ismael Hassen Aredo's family, with shade trees, its own nursery and community projects. Bronze in the Flat White Dairy category at the 2025 Global Coffee Awards: sweet peach, a malty finish and enough structure for milk.

Black tea, Peach, Caramel

From the Fairtrade-certified Kiangoi Factory, run by the Rung'eto Cooperative since the 1960s and fed by about 1,150 smallholders near Embu on Mount Kenya. Hand-sorted, fermented 18-36 hours in concrete tanks, washed and sun-dried 12-20 days on African beds. Sweet, juicy and complex, as good in an AeroPress as in espresso.

Blackcurrant, Blackberry, Maple syrup

The first harvest (January 2025) of the Lazo brothers' Geisha at Finca La Dinastía, an 18-hectare farm run with soil-analysis precision agriculture by vet-turned-producer Wilder Lazo. Pulped cherries ferment 120 hours in their mucilage under water with fresh lemongrass in sealed tanks. Elegant and sweet: like lemon dessert with milk, intense as espresso, fresh as filter.

Lemongrass, Dragon fruit, White peach

From 4 Llamas, founded in Caranavi in 2019 by Andrés Torrico and María Sarabia with local smallholders. Lactic-acid bacteria ferment the coffee without oxygen while sous-vide-inspired vacuum pulses push pulp flavour into the bean. Very sweet and creamy: hot chocolate hot, plum as it warms, jasmine cool.

Plum, Dark chocolate, Jasmine

A decaf from chemical engineer Wilton Benitez at Granja Paraíso 92: sterilised cherries, 48 hours of oxidation and 68 hours of anaerobic bioreactor fermentation, 48 hours of drying at 38°C, then sugarcane decaffeination. Complex and citrusy, a coffee to convert anyone to decaf.

Lemongrass, Starfruit, Bergamot
