Rafael Velasco

Rafael Velasco cultivates coffee in the Cauca region of Colombia, operating at an altitude of 1820 meters. This geographic context places the farm within a well-known highland producing area of the country. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog focuses entirely on the Geisha cultivar. All recorded lots from this producer utilize the Geisha variety, highlighting a specific focus on this distinct plant type. The process portfolio includes semi-washed and experimental treatments. The catalog records instances of both preparation methods applied to the producer's harvests. Two roasters are currently documented as carrying coffees from Rafael Velasco, with a total of two coffees included in the index. Recent catalog examples feature the Colombia Geisha roasted by September Coffee Company using a semi-washed process, and a semi-washed Gesha from Hydrangea Coffee utilizing an experimental preparation. The work of Rafael Velasco in the catalog is distinguished by a dedicated focus on the Geisha variety paired with varied processing methods.
