Coffee Story*

Grown in the famed coffee region of Palestina, Huila in southern Colombia, this Gesha from Marisela Sánchez is a blend of washed and naturally processed coffees.  The blend of processing methods in one lot results in its supremely layered flavor profile.  

This coffee is sourced by our friends and partners, La Real Expedición Botánica (LaREB). LaREB is an independent collective of coffee producers in Colombia who have formed a platform to improve and facilitate the access of producers to discriminating markets. 

The work of the collective is centered in interdisciplinary coffee studies, investigation, teamwork and above all - maintaining a strong presence in Colombia. LaREB looks to restore and reproduce the traditional varieties of coffee and the agroforestry models that resisted the homogeny of the Green Revolution. 

The goal is to redesign coffee production in the collective’s regional projects with a focus on quality through specialized farms, which serve as experimental centers of learning and dissemination of post-harvest practices and processes, the collective seeks to expand the boundaries of what specialty coffee can be.

As the exclusive North American importing and sales partner of LaREB, Bold Bean has access to a ton of very special Colombian coffees.  We are excited to be sharing one of the very best with you as a part of our Rare Coffee Club.
