Finca Lerida Coffee Estate has been dedicated to produce and export various cultivars such as Caturra, Catuai, and of course Geisha over a century since they first traded with Germany.

It is a light roast, thus the intensity of the brewed coffee would not be such a challenge to even non-coffee drinkers.
