Felipe Arcila is a fourth-generation coffee grower and co-founder of Cofinet, a coffee producer and exporter located in Colombia. Jardines del Edén is Cofinet’s flagship farm, where they focus on growing exotic coffee varieties and trying out experimental processing methods. The farm's fertile, mineral-rich soil, steady supply of rain, and slightly cooler-than-usual microclimate create an ideal environment for truly special coffee.

Jardines actually grow Red, Yellow and Pink Gesha, hence the name ‘Red Gesha’ – we’ll be releasing the Pink version later this year. Expect an extremely sweet coffee with classic stone fruit and jasmine florals, alongside tamarind and berries. Delicious!
