Letty Geisha by Diego Samuel Bermudez of El Paraíso, Cauca
Letty is named for Diego's daughter, but she needs no introduction. Simply welcome one of the most elegant and fragrant coffees you'll ever taste.
There are many geishas out there, but Letty is prepared with a specific yellow geisha that's been grafted onto rootstock for the last six years to retain genetic consistency and quality with every harvest.
The real magic is in the processing. Diego's team in Cauca, Colombia start with ripe, sterilised coffee cherry. This is fermented in a stainless steel tank for 60hrs at 18°C, then depulped and placed back into a bioreactor with its own mucilage as well as a lactobacillus strain that drives a distinct tropical note during a second 48hr fermentation. Diego's signature thermal shock then locks in the flavour.
Beautiful and sweet–expect a bouquet of peach skin, rose & jasmine, a palate of passionfruit, dried mango, ripe strawberry, and an endless candy finish.

When will my order ship?
📆 All online orders are typically shipped on Wednesday each week to ensure we get the freshest available stock to you. This means anything ordered by midnight on Tuesday is guaranteed to ship on Wednesday, orders placed after this will ship by the following Wednesday at the latest. In some cases, items may ship sooner if we have fresh stock available.
🗺 Arrival depends on where you're based —within Johannesburg orders will often arrive the day after you receive tracking information, other major centres will usually receive orders 2 days after you get a tracking number in your inbox, outlying areas may take up to 3 days.
💫 We ship free to all of South Africa on orders over R849, for orders below this value a R85 delivery fee will be included at Checkout.
You can also opt for a store pickup at our Kramerville Roastery or Rosebank Cafe, just select this option at Checkout. We'll send you a "ready to collect" notification as soon as your order is, well, ready to collect.
🌍 We offer international shipping on all orders under 2kg (that's safely 6 boxes of coffee) Unfortunately, the South African postal service is infamous for being the total opposite of a vibe so our int'l shipping is handled via Aramex or DHL. This means that int'l shippings fees are a little steep, but you'll get your coffee in record time and will be able to track it all the way to your door.
🛫 To view shipping rates for your country, simply follow the usual process people follow when shopping online (fill a cart, proceed to checkout, and enter your address & contact deets). Easy peasy.
If shipping options do not load, it means we don't currently offer shipping to your country or region. Be sure to mail us so we can fix that.
NB: some import duties may be applicable on arrival depending on your country's policies.
