Happy Birthday Liliana

In June 2019, to Celebrate the arrival of our Baby Girl, Liliana, I was fortunate enough to import a nanolot(20kgs) of one of the best Geisha varietals I have tasted. The coffee was from farmer, and our friend, Alejo Castro from Costa Rica. 

For Liliana’s first birthday(6th June 2020) we have selected another incredible lot from Alejo’s farm. The coffee is literally on the way to the roastery!!

This year we selected another Geisha but this time it is an Anaerobic Natural. This coffee is busy making its way through the Costa Rica Cup Of Excellence judging rounds. It is truly special!

This coffee is extremely aromatic with sweet florals on the nose. We’re tasting mandarin and red wine gums. Expect candy sweetness!

Sold Out!

Keep an eye out for the 2021 Liliana Project release…
