Standout Coffee Gesha from El Triunfo: Championship-Level Coffee Meets Colombian Excellence

When Sweden's barista and brewers champion trusts a roaster with competition coffee, you know you're experiencing something extraordinary. That's exactly what you get with Standout Coffee, the renowned Swedish roastery founded by a championship barista who has spent years perfecting the craft of roasting world-class beans for himself and fellow competitors.

Today, we're thrilled to feature one of the most exceptional coffees in our collection: a Gesha variety from El Triunfo farm in Huila, Colombia—a coffee that embodies everything specialty coffee should be.

Why This Coffee Stands Out

Championship Pedigree

Standout Coffee isn't just another Scandinavian roastery. Founded by a Sweden barista champion and brewers champion, this roastery has built its reputation on one simple principle: roasting coffee at the same level competitors demand. When baristas compete at the highest levels, they need coffee that can showcase their skills—coffee with clarity, complexity, and zero defects. That same philosophy goes into every bag Standout Coffee produces.

The Legendary Gesha Variety

Coffee enthusiasts know that Gesha (also spelled Geisha) represents the pinnacle of specialty coffee. Originally from Ethiopia and made famous in Panama, this variety is prized for its:

• Extraordinary floral aromatics
• Tea-like body and delicate structure
• Complex fruit notes
• Sparkling, clean finish

The Gesha we're featuring delivers all of this and more.

Tasting Notes: A Sensory Journey

Expect: Wonderful florals, ripe peach, dark berries with amazing structure and clarity. The finish is sparkling and effervescent.

This isn't your everyday cup of coffee. From the first sip, you're greeted with perfume-like floral notes that dance on the palate. As the cup develops, ripe stone fruit sweetness emerges—think juicy peach at peak ripeness. Dark berry notes add depth and complexity, while the coffee's remarkable structure ensures every flavor remains distinct and clear.

The effervescent finish is what truly sets this coffee apart. It's bright without being sharp, lively without being acidic, leaving you with a clean, sparkling sensation that invites another sip.

The Story Behind Your Cup: Meet Yeni

Great coffee always has a story, and this one is particularly inspiring.

Yeni grew up on her family's coffee farm in Los Cauchos, San Agustín, Huila. After losing her mother at age eight, she was raised by her father and grandparents, learning the coffee trade from the ground up. Even as a child, she balanced school with farm work and picked coffee on neighboring farms to earn her own money.

In 2014, everything changed when she met Wilmer Moncayo. When Wilmer's mother passed and he inherited El Triunfo farm, Yeni made a life-changing decision: she would help him rebuild. Moving to the farm in 2015, together they transformed both the property and their future.

From Accident to Excellence

Their specialty coffee journey began unexpectedly in 2017 with a fermentation "accident" that produced surprisingly exceptional results. When buyers responded enthusiastically and offered a 70% premium, Yeni and Wilmer realized they were onto something special.

They reinvested everything—even spending time in the United States to save money for farm improvements. Upon returning, they renovated El Triunfo with Pink Bourbon trees, then added Geisha and Papayo varieties. Today, Yeni manages post-harvest processing and quality control, while she and Wilmer sell their exceptional coffees under their own name as part of the Monkaaba project.

The Process: Precision Meets Sustainability

Process: Mechanical Washed

What makes this coffee even more remarkable is the meticulous processing:

1. Selective Harvesting: Cherries are picked every three weeks at peak ripeness
2. Tumbling & Fermentation: Coffee is tumbled, then fermented in plastic bags for 48 hours
3. Extended Soaking: Left in a ceramic tank with minimal water for 36 hours
4. Eco-Friendly Washing: Processed through a mechanical washing system using just 0.3 liters per kilogram—incredibly water-efficient
5. Careful Drying: After draining for 4 hours, beans are dried for 18-22 days

This process creates the clarity and cleanliness you taste in every cup while being remarkably sustainable.

Farm Details

• Farm: El Triunfo
• Location: Santa Clara, San Agustin, Huila, Colombia
• Altitude: 1,750 meters above sea level
• Size: 5.5 hectares, entirely planted with coffee
• Variety: Gesha

The high altitude of 1,750 masl creates ideal conditions for Gesha to develop its complex flavors. The cool mountain air slows cherry maturation, allowing sugars and organic acids to develop fully, resulting in the exceptional cup quality.

How to Brew This Coffee

To honor the work Yeni and Wilmer put into this coffee—and the expertise Standout Coffee brings to roasting—we recommend:

Pour Over (V60, Kalita Wave, Chemex): This brew method highlights the coffee's florals, clarity, and sparkling finish. Use a 1:16 ratio, water at 93°C.

Espresso: For experienced home baristas, this Gesha pulls beautiful shots with layers of fruit and florals. Expect it to be more delicate than typical espresso—adjust your expectations and ratios accordingly.

Avoid: Dark roasting methods or aggressive brewing that would overpower the delicate notes.
