Grown in El Pital, Colombia, this washed Geisha from Henry Bonilla’s El Arrayan farm reflects his deep-rooted experience in coffee. Having taken over the farm from his father, Henry has expanded its potential by cultivating Geisha and refining processing techniques.

The cherries are selectively hand-harvested at peak ripeness before undergoing a careful double fermentation—24 hours whole, followed by 32 hours post-pulping—then dried slowly under the sun for 15 days. The result is a beautifully balanced coffee that highlights the floral and delicate characteristics Geisha is known for.

Henry Bonilla acquired the El Arrayan farm from the moment of his father's death. From a very young age Henry was involved in all the work related to coffee on the farm, for this reason it was very easy to take the reins of the farm, however he wanted to go further by implementing technology in all processes and taking the risk of cultivating other varieties such as the Geisha, which begins in the month of May and lasts until July, has a wicked harvest from September to December.

Henry today, taking advantage of his knowledge and experience on the subject of coffee, advises several producers in the area, helping them to have a better structure in their financial and productive processes.

Cata Export

Countries of operation Colombia

Established date 2019

Cat is a product and graphic designer and Pierre is a composer, guitarist and a singer who decided to swap careers to drink coffee all day long with a purpose.

After training and working for many years as a specialty coffee barista in the UK, we were inspired to move into the green coffee trade in the country we love and know best, Colombia.

We now apply our expertise to find the best beans at origin, whilst matching European quality standards and building long term relationships with local farmers.

After 5 years trading coffee worldwide Cat and Pierre became producers in their farm called Cata Reserva in Timana Huila. It is a 30 hectares farm which half of it is a natural reserve. As exporters with a vision on traceability saw the positive impact on the producers farm like Nestor Lasso, today they became producers to carry on exchanging knowledge now not only from a exporter perspective but through a producers view too. Cata's attention to detail on regenerating the land with clean agriculture protocols as well as connecting with a community will benefit both ends production and roasters trade.

The intelectual part of coffee is fun, we want to share what we know, we want to learn too, we want to connect better for a better trade sustainable for all.
