Giraldo Family

The Giraldo Family cultivates coffee in the Quindío region of Colombia, operating at a high altitude elevation of 1950 meters. This geographic positioning provides the cool temperatures and climate conditions characteristic of high-altitude farming in the Colombian Andes. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog is exclusively Geisha. Both lots cataloged from the producer feature this distinct cultivar, reflecting a focused agricultural approach toward specialty varieties. Processing methods for the Giraldo Family lots include washed and double washed treatments. These traditional and meticulous preparation techniques highlight the inherent profile of the harvested Geisha cherries without the influence of extended experimental fermentations. The catalog footprint for the Giraldo Family includes two coffees represented in the index, which are carried by a single roaster, Rogue Wave Coffee. The average Cherrybook Index across their lots is 74.4, with representation spanning the Las Marias farm identity. Recent catalog examples illustrate this focus, featuring the Colombia Las Marias Entre Montanas Geisha prepared via a double washed process and the Colombia Las Marias Rio Dulce Geisha prepared via a washed process. Both offerings were roasted and distributed by Rogue Wave Coffee. The work of the Giraldo Family in the catalog is defined by a narrow varietal focus on Geisha combined with conventional washed and double washed processing methods.
