Santa Felisa Estate has been managed by the Meneses family since it was founded in 1904. Today, siblings Anabella and Antonio manage the estate with a perfect blend of age-old know-how and modern coffee artisanship. Their search for better flavors led the Meneses siblings to plant varieties like Geisha (among others) and experiment with new and improved Natural processing.
Geisha 2722 is an Ethiopian landrace coffee which was brought to CATIE and it was logged as accession T2722.
