Today, Linarco works in close partnership with his entire family, attributing much of his success to this collaborative effort. "This is truly a family business," he states with pride. Indeed, the Rodriguez family holds dear the tradition of gathering together in the kitchen at the end of each day to share a cup of coffee, exchange stories, and unwind after their collective labour. For Linarco, this daily ritual is more than a simple custom; it is a source of deep satisfaction, as it allows him to blend his passion for coffee with the warmth and support of his family.
Looking to the future, Linarco remains steadfast in his commitment to advancing the coffee industry. His vision is focused on producing an exceptional product of the highest quality, while also sharing technical expertise with fellow farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. As he continues to grow his business, Linarco is unwavering in his belief that these efforts will not only strengthen his family's legacy but also contribute to the enduring success and sustainability of the coffee industry as a whole.
Geisha (Gesha) traces to the Gori Gesha forest of Ethiopia and rose to fame through Panama's Hacienda Esmeralda. It is delicate to grow and low-yielding, but at altitude it delivers jasmine, bergamot and tropical fruit with rare clarity.
In the natural process, whole cherry is dried intact so the bean steeps in its own fruit. Done with discipline it builds heavy sweetness, body and pronounced berry character, with no shortcuts at the drying stage.
