Brayan Smith

Brayan Smith produces coffee in the Huila region of Colombia, operating at altitudes ranging from 1500 to 1950 meters. This geographic range places the production firmly within the well-known coffee-growing landscapes of southern Colombia, where high elevations and diverse microclimates contribute to distinctive cup profiles. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog centers heavily on Geisha, alongside Red Bourbon and other cultivars. Geisha is the most frequently appearing variety across the lots, reflecting a focus on distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics associated with this specific coffee plant type. Processing methods for these coffees include washed and anaerobic washed treatments. The combination of traditional washed preparation and controlled anaerobic washed processing allows for varied expressions of the underlying fruit and floral qualities present in the harvested cherries. The catalog footprint includes five total coffees indexed, with two currently listed as in-stock. Three different roasters feature these lots in their offerings, demonstrating cross-roaster recognition. The average Cherrybook Index across all lots associated with this producer stands at 61.1. Recent catalog entries illustrate the range of offerings. Onyx Coffee Lab and Mame have featured washed Geisha lots from this producer, while French Truck Coffee has carried anaerobic washed lots, including selections identified as red bourbon and other varieties. Overall, the work of Brayan Smith in the catalog is characterized by a focus on Geisha and Bourbon varieties paired with both washed and anaerobic processing methods.
