{"product_id":"manuel-rosendo-marlo-baca-geisha-green-tip","title":"Manuel Rosendo Marlo Baca - Geisha Green Tip","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is Khipu's second year working with Manuel, and the first year sourcing his Geisha - a coffee that's quickly proving why he's become one of Khipu's core producers in Lonya Grande.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis particular lot is Green Tip Geisha, a variation on the classic Geisha varietal named for the colour of its young leaves - pure green, rather than the bronze tint found on the more common bronze-tip strain. Green Tip is generally considered the higher-quality of the two, typically producing more acidity and stronger floral aromatics in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eManuel Marlo Baca is a fourth-generation coffee grower from Roblepampa, in the Lonya Grande district of Utcubamba, Amazonas, with knowledge passed down through his family for decades. His cousin, Roiber Becerra, also appears in Khipu's offer list. Since 2017, Manuel has taken the lead on elevating his farm's agronomy, processing and quality control, investing in professional training including Q Processing Level 1. It's paying off: his Geisha has won district-level competitions for the past two years, and this year he took a regional competition win too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis lot comes from the new lower section of Finca Pacpa, 1.8 hectares at 1,752 masl, part of a farm that sits at 1,850m in Pacpa village and grows Bourbon, Geisha and Pacamara under an agroforestry system of Pine, Cedar and Guabo trees. Processing is meticulous: ripe cherries are harvested at peak maturity, floated, hand-screened for uniformity, then pulped after a second visual check. The lot undergoes 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation in sealed vats, held at 18°C, before being washed three times and dried in a solar dryer for 15 to 20 days down to 10.5% moisture. The parchment then rests for a full month before milling, a stage Manuel considers essential for letting sweetness and aromatics settle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Khipu","offers":[{"title":"0.5kg","offer_id":55686147080568,"sku":"MANUEL-ROSENDO-GEISHA-HALF","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55686147113336,"sku":"MANUEL-ROSENDO-GEISHA-1","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":55686147146104,"sku":"MANUEL-ROSENDO-GEISHA-5","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/3006\/7755\/files\/0-2_5b0d22ce-9de3-4ecc-bb1e-fd4b45e78e71.jpg?v=1790779279","url":"https:\/\/greencoffeecollective.com\/en-de\/products\/manuel-rosendo-marlo-baca-geisha-green-tip","provider":"Green Coffee Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
