The story

For the Garzón Bolaños family, coffee has always been a way of life. At Finca La Manoa in Planadas, Tolima, generations of experience have shaped a farming approach rooted in patience, observation and respect for the land. Those values come to life in this washed Geisha, a coffee that speaks as much about the people behind it as the place where it is grown.

Rising between 1,810 and 2,100 meters above sea level, the farm provides the ideal conditions for this renowned variety to develop its full potential. Only carefully selected ripe cherries are harvested before entering a washing process designed to highlight clarity and precision. Controlled fermentation, thorough washing and slow drying create a coffee that balances elegance with a strong sense of place.

The family's commitment extends well beyond harvest. Soil conservation, shade management, biodiversity protection and responsible agricultural practices are all part of a long-term vision for sustaining both coffee production and the environment that supports it.

More than a Geisha, this lot represents a shared dedication to craftsmanship, stewardship and continuous improvement, resulting in a coffee that offers a refined and authentic expression of Planadas.

At La Manoa, coffee is more than a crop. It is a family legacy nurtured across generations. This washed Geisha reflects that commitment through careful cultivation, thoughtful processing, and a deep respect for the natural environment, delivering a cup that is elegant, transparent and true to its origin.

"I was born the son of a coffee grower, and from a very young age I began learning the craft of coffee farming. My father taught me the many skills and traditions of caficulture, sharing his knowledge of processes and quality, which he has cultivated for more than ten years.

Two years ago, the opportunity arose to acquire Finca La Manoa, a dream that I shared with my parents. Together, we embraced this challenge, exploring new varietals and building a project rooted in family values. My parents have been my greatest support — their guidance and dedication have shaped my journey and inspired me to carry this dream forward.

I have always lived in Planadas, Tolima, and everything I know about coffee I owe to them. Being a farmer is, to me, a blessing — the privilege of producing differentiated coffees with humility, responsibility, and a commitment to quality".

Founded 50 years ago and held by a single owner until recently, Finca La Manoa entered a new chapter two years ago when we acquired it with the vision of honoring its legacy while shaping its future. The name La Manoa comes from the Latin verb manus, meaning union and spirit, a reflection of the harmony we seek between people, land, and coffee.

The farm is located in Planadas, Tolima, in the village of Los Alpes. To reach it, one must follow the Planadas–Gaitania road, take the turn toward El Diamante, and continue until the crossroads of Los Alpes. Just six minutes past the school of the village, you will find La Manoa.

Our team is made up of 4 permanent workers, and during harvest season, we welcome around 15 seasonal pickers from neighboring areas. Each hand involved in La Manoa is part of the union that gives life to our coffee — a coffee that reflects the resilience, richness, and spirit of Tolima.
