Join us to taste three outstanding coffees from the well-known Inmaculalda Coffee Farms.
Inmaculada Coffee Farms is located in the village of Pichindé, a county in the municipality of Cali, located within the state of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Inmaculada Coffee Farms consists of 60 hectares of which 36 are planted with exotic varieties and the rest are untouched forest and facilities, nestled on the foothills of the Farallones National Park.
The three coffees to taste are Sudan Rume, Geisha and Laurina (see details below). We will use Belux Coffee tasting form and flavor wheel to guide all guests to identify flavors and notes through the tasting event.
1.Geisha
Originally from Ethiopia, the Geisha variety has become well known
in Costa Rica and Panama in the early years of Specialty Coffee and
It’s globally recognized for its floral and fragrance aroma and tea-like
characteristics. The Geisha tree or Abisinian is known to be a high and leafy plant;its leaves are oblong and narrow; the cherries and seeds are knownto be large and can be easily recognized.
2. Sudan Rume
A legendary variety that was discovered in 1940 in a wild state in the Boma Plateau, Southeast Sudan near the Ethiopian border. This
area belongs to a region considered to be the birthplace of the Arabica species. Sudan Rumé has long been used by plant breeders as
a source of “quality” genes. It was first planted by Inmaculada in
2012 and used by Sasa Sestic who won the 2015 WBC World Barista
Championship in Seattle, WA, USA. The Sudan Rumé is a tall tree with big leaves and medium sizedbeans.
3. Laurina
The tiny island of Réunion is little more than a dot in the Indian
Ocean, east of Madagascar and southwest of Mauritius. For nearly
200 years that dot was the foundation of a singular exclamation
point in coffee history. A peculiar varietal was cultivated in Reunions’
rich volcanic soils, a low-growing, long-bean mutation of Red
Bourbon that came to be known as Bourbon Pointu, or simply
Leroy, and was said to be favored by France’s King Louis XV, and satirist Honoré de Balzac. The Laurina is distinguished by its long and pointy beans it has aniconic Christmas-tree like shape with concentrated leaves and thebeans usually grow from the inside and can barely be seen. It is wellknown for its naturally low caffeine content.
