After years working abroad, Diego returned to his hometown between Santa Maria and Copey de Dota to transform his family’s small farm into a beacon of specialty production. Against the odds of cold mountain conditions once thought unsuitable for coffee, he began cultivating rare varieties such as Geisha—combining high-elevation terroir with innovation and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSustainable Cultivation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lot, known as \u003cb\u003eCusuco\u003c\/b\u003e, is grown within a preserved natural forest.

The parchment, still coated with mucilage, ferments overnight in open steel tanks. The following morning, it is soaked in clean mountain water—drained and refreshed twice—to achieve clarity and balance. The coffee then dries slowly for 12 days on raised beds beneath partial shade, turned hourly for consistency. The result is a remarkably clean and delicate Geisha, showcasing the finesse of Costa Rica’s micro-mill revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLa Bandera Geisha N\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosta Rica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTarrazu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLos Santos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCusuco\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eDiego Hidalgo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeisha | 2,000 MASL | Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 105, 73);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrawberry | Honeysuckle | Stone Fruit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eExtraction Recommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrew Ratio | 55g\/L to 60g\/L\u003cbr\u003eBrew Time | 3 mins \u003cbr\u003eTemperature | 92-94Cº\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MOVING COFFEE ROASTERY","offers":[{"title":"226g (0.5 lb)","offer_id":52869233082684,"sku":"WS-Max-CR-Bandera-Geisha-N-226","price":34.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/3161\/files\/LaBanderaGeishaWBensaN.png?v=1764315332","url":"https:\/\/www.movingcoffee.com\/products\/ws-eightounce-la-bandera-geisha-n","provider":"MOVING COFFEE ROASTERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
