Jardines del Edén, run by Felipe and Carlos Arcila of Cofinet, is an experimental farm for rare varieties like red/yellow Geisha, SL28, Wush Wush, and Marageisha.

We collaborate here to refine nutrition, crop load, and shading. This Red Geisha lot is hand-sorted and dried 15–20 days on raised African beds, turned often for even airflow. The cool Andean microclimate slows drying, preserving bright acidity, floral clarity, and layered fruit sweetness.

Expect perfumed jasmine-like florals, ripe stone fruit sweetness, and a syrupy yet delicate mouthfeel that lets the flowers shine.

Owned by Pepe Jijón, a former Ecuadorian mountaineer turned passionate coffee farmer, Finca Soledad embodies environmental purpose. Our recent trip to the farm revealed their innovative drying practices, securing this exceptional lot of Typica Mejorado, called 'Florcita' after Pepe's wife who took meticulous care of this lot during the drying period.

Hand-sorted ripe cherries were depulped and dry-fermented for 24–36 hours, before being cold-dried on african beds under rotation every 30 mintues, ensuring a clean, floral character with a brightr and vibrant acidity.
