Escape | White Honey Geisha - Colombia

Escape Coffee

When you focus on one thing, many things happen. And at Escape, that one thing was always coffee. That's why we cross continents, explore different roasting techniques, flavours, infusions, and sustainable practices. We work with local artists, hand-package our selections and deliver to distributors. 

We have decided to choose our coffees carefully, taking into consideration the quality, taste, social impact, transport, origin and treatment of employees. We deliver our products with the most ecological means of transport possible and pack our products only with compostable or reusable packaging. 

We build Escape by putting the planet, people and quality before profit. At Escape, this is our main philosophy. With all the information we have regarding the social and environmental impacts of our actions, we firmly believe that companies and brands must take responsibility. 

'Coffee is a moment to escape. A chance to free yourself from the routine of everyday life to achieve something greater, that inspires, motivates and illuminates.'

White Honey Geisha

If you're serious about coffee, Sebastian Ramirez's work at El Placer in Quindío, Colombia deserves your attention. Sebastian has spent years refining fermentation techniques, and this White Honey Geisha is one of the most dialed-in expressions of his craft we've tasted. 

The whole cherries (95% ripe, 5% semi-ripe) undergo anaerobic fermentation for 48 hours with CO₂ injection, held at a steady 18°C. From there, they're processed using his signature white honey method, with a meticulously controlled two-phase drying process under shade. The result is nothing short of stunning. 

If you've been chasing the nuance and clarity that a Geisha can offer, this is a must. Sebastian's White Honey process is delicate, intentional, and absolutely unforgettable.
