Escape | Geisha #2 - 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.'

Anaerobic Natural Geisha

If you’re chasing floral clarity and silky sweetness, Milton Monroy’s Geisha Rose Garden from San Pedro in Tolima is one to remember. Grown at 1,800 meters in the mountains of Ibagué, this reserve-tier coffee showcases Milton’s years of work refining the Geisha variety on his family farm.

Whole cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation for 84 hours in 60kg tanks, gently rotated every 12 hours to maintain even microbial activity. Drying begins with 6 to 8 hours in mechanical dryers to reduce surface moisture, followed by 24 to 32 days of slow sun drying under canopy. Once dried, the coffee rests in a dark room for 5 days, then undergoes 45 days of stabilization in GrainPro before milling.

The result is playful yet precise. Expect bold fruit punch on the front, followed by the nostalgic sweetness of cherry jujubes, all wrapped in a smooth, honeyed finish. It’s expressive, juicy, and incredibly clean.

If you’re looking for the kind of Geisha that lives up to the hype – vibrant, sweet, and full of character – this is it. Milton’s attention to detail is evident in every sip, capturing the full potential of Geisha processed with care.
