Colombia El Placer Geisha CM White Honey

We recommend letting the coffee rested for at least 10 days before brewing, though our roastery considers the ideal resting period to be 3 weeks or more.
We hope you enjoy experiencing how the coffee's flavor evolves throughout the process.

Roaster's TMI

"El Placer" is a coffee we consistently feature every season at Leicht Coffee Roasters. This project is led by Sebastian Ramirez, with the fermentation process managed by Wilder Lazo, the owner of Bella Alejandria—another renowned farm we are well acquainted with.

Due to the prolonged rainy season in Colombia, coffee harvesting and processing across all farms have faced delays. El Placer was also affected, pushing back our receiving schedule, but our importer resolved this by utilizing air freight to ensure peak freshness.

Fortunately, the quality remains just as exceptional, if not better. Through our light roasting approach, the anaerobic processing's signature herbal notes act as a delicate accent, while the white floral and clear fruit notes are brought beautifully to the forefront. You can expect a remarkably clean cup highlighted by bright acidity and a high level of sweetness.

The farm has also prepared a competition lot this year, which is scheduled to be imported. Given that the price is nearly double, we are still considering whether it will join our lineup, but we hope you get the chance to taste it somewhere. During cupping, it showed incredible potential even as a fresh crop.
