The Geisha variety is still one of the most prestigious in the world and therefore also one of the most expensive to trade. For us, Hacienda Sonora is our longest coffee relationship and we are even more excited to roast this batch for our Rockstar Calendar. Our Sonora Geisha is a naturally processed coffee with intense tropical flavours of fruity mango, passion fruit and a lingering sweetness of honey.

Shantawene Anaerobic is an extremely complex coffee. The rich and intense flavour profile is due to the prolonged fermentation as the cherries are fully fermented, which increases the fructose content during processing so that the beans later develop the complex, sweet and exciting profile: We taste the sweetness of caramel, tropical acids and a rich, intense mouthfeel. Our roast masters describe the finish as tropical-complex.

The Cup of Excellence is the most important coffee award a farm can win for its beans. The Cup of Excellence is held nationally in the various coffee countries every year. Many coffee professionals travel to the growing countries as judges in this competition and not only evaluate the coffees neutrally, but are also networked directly with the farmers. At 19grams, we have several members of our team who regularly participate in the COE, for example our roasters Mars and Anthony. This lot from the Ojo de Agua farm in Mexico was awarded the Cup of Excellence in 2022.
