Together with his wife, María Rivera, he leads Las Marías Estate, a farm dedicated to the integration of science, advanced genetics, and sustainability to produce exceptional microlots recognized on a global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003eLocated in Colombia, the 23-hectare Las Marías Estate is home to a carefully curated collection of rare and exotic coffee varieties. The farm cultivates 9,000 Typica trees over 70 years old, second- and third-generation Geisha trees developed through rigorous genetic selection, as well as Orange Striped Wush Wush and micro Mokka varieties—each chosen for its unique sensory potential and cup complexity. Over ten years of research at the family’s El Danubio Estate, José Giraldo evaluated 46 Geisha progenies, refining them through multiple generations to establish competition-grade genetics that set new standards in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eLas Marías Estate blends tradition with scientific innovation. The farm benefits from the expertise of Germán Giraldo, PhD in Food Science, whose work in osmotic drying and fermentation science has helped refine advanced post-harvest processes. These techniques, combined with the estate’s preserved natural microbiota and surrounding native forest, enhance the depth, clarity, and complexity of each coffee produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1871\"\u003eThe estate’s coffees have gained international recognition, reaching more than 50 specialty buyers across 25 countries. Las Marías microlots are frequently selected by barista champions and professionals for competition use, reflecting the farm’s consistency, precision, and dedication to excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"2291\"\u003eSustainability and biodiversity are central to the estate’s philosophy. With seven hectares of preserved native forest and a habitat supporting over 30 bird species, Las Marías Estate prioritizes environmental stewardship as an essential component of producing world-class coffees. This commitment ensures that every coffee reflects not only exceptional craftsmanship, but also respect for the land and its ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SWERL COFFEE ROASTERS","offers":[{"title":"100g Filter","offer_id":52347007893783,"sku":null,"price":24.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5101\/2119\/files\/DSC01616-Photoroom.webp?v=1773092738","url":"https:\/\/cool-beans.ca\/products\/swerl-las-marias-limited-edition-colombia-double-washed-geisha","provider":"coolbeans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
