Colombia - Hacienda El Obraje Gesha

First Class is the premium product line at Terminal 3 Roasters, placed above Business Class. We are excited to feature this exceptional bean from Hacienda El Obraje in Colombia as part of our First Class collection.

We visited Hacienda El Obraje in person and cupped the latest harvest alongside Pablo Guerrero, where this lot achieved a very high score. Tasting across multiple selections at origin gave us a clear picture of the farm’s quality this season, and this Gesha stood out immediately for its clarity, structure, and expressive floral character.

Grown at 2,200 masl in the extreme conditions of Tangua, Nariño, the coffee develops slowly due to dramatic temperature swings between warm days and cold nights. Combined with the farm’s rocky, mineral-rich volcanic soils, this extended maturation leads to dense beans and a more complex sugar development, translating into a refined and layered cup. Of the farm’s 100 hectares, only a small portion is dedicated to coffee, with the rest preserved as forest - helping maintain a stable microclimate and protect biodiversity.

Cherries are selectively handpicked at peak ripeness - deep red to purple in color - and processed with great care at Pablo’s on-site mill, where variables are adjusted according to the conditions of each harvest. After thorough evaluation, we selected this lot directly from Pablo. Sourcing in this way ensures full transparency and allows us to highlight a coffee that truly reflects both the unique terroir and the precision behind every step of production.
