Honduras Caballero Family Geisha

Since 2003, we have been working in Marcala with the Caballero family: Fabio and Sandra Isabel Caballero, their daughter Marysabel, son-in-law Moisés, and the rest of the team at their farms and mills. Since 2012, they have been growing Geisha, the world's most elegant and most celebrated cultivar. This Geisha lot comes from a cool pine grove at Las Virginias, the family's highest-elevation farm.

PLEASE NOTE: This coffee roasts & ships from Chicago only.

The Honduras Caballero Family Geisha represents a collaboration between the renowned Caballero family and Intelligentsia Coffee. Sourced from the high-elevation landscapes of Marcala, Honduras, this lot highlights the meticulous cultivation practices for which the region is known. The coffee features the Geisha varietal, a plant globally celebrated for its distinct genetic profile and potential for exceptional cup quality.

Generally, Geisha coffees are prized for their floral, tea-like clarity and complex aromatic intensity, often requiring precise processing to preserve their delicate characteristics. When evaluating the nuanced layers of such a refined varietal, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify and articulate the specific sensory attributes present in the cup. This offering serves as a compelling example of the intersection between specialized agricultural heritage and modern specialty roasting, showcasing the unique terroir of the Caballero family’s farm.
