Las Marias Estate is the newest farm of the Giraldo family. Jose was intentionally looking for a farm with high elevation, surrounded by native forest and with luminosity conditions that would bring out the best quality of the most exotic coffee varietals. Pijao, Quindio is a super small town in the heart of the Andes Mountains, a quiet and peaceful place. In his search for land Jose discovered Las Marias, a farm which had been abandoned for more than 20 years covered in overgrown grass and invasive plants, but there were some rare cherries in the middle of that mess.

7.000 Trees of around 70 years old in an unkempt condition. They recovered those Typica trees and started selection of the best genetics they wanted to grow in Las Marias. Of course the Geisha was the crown jewel of what they wanted to grow there, they got the seeds from Panama and took great care of those delicate trees.
