Alejo Castro

Our first Geisha has landed! After previous successes we've had roasting other fantastic natural coffees from Alejo Castro's Volcan Azul farm in Costa Rica, we felt the time was right to bring in his top shelf offering...

This natural anaerobic processed geisha is elegant, floral and sophisticated. It reminds us of white peach, rambutan and jasmine green tea.

Alejo's family farm, Volcan Azul, in the Western Valley region of Costa Rica has won numerous awards for its coffees and drips in coffee history. Alejo is the fifth generation descendent of coffee pioneers Alejo C. Jimenez and Wilehlm Kahle who planted some of the first specialty coffee plantations in the early 1900s. Alejo’s focus for the Volcan Azul farm is to push coffee quality while making a positive impact on the environment.

This is a really distinguished premium coffee that is suited for anyone with a discerning palate and an eye for the deluxe!

Please note that since we roast to order and our machine has a minimum roast batch size, when ordering this coffee fulfilment times are not guaranteed. Once we receive your order we will reach out to you to discuss a delivery timeline.

Brew method:

We roast this coffee light and it is best enjoyed as a filter.

We recommend using a 16:1 water to coffee ratio (for example when using 20 grams of coffee, brew with 320ml of water) and a medium coarse grind.
