This Compás Black Edition is a specialty Geisha coffee from Colombia, shade-grown by Carlos Arango at Finca El Origen in Valle del Cauca.
Its profile combines aromas of jasmine, juicy mandarin, and a sweetness reminiscent of syrup. On the palate, it presents a creamy texture and a long finish.
This Geisha comes from the May 2026 harvest, grown at an altitude of 1,600 meters. Its washed process incorporates 36 hours of cherry stabilization, hand sorting, thermal shock, and mechanical drying under controlled conditions.
This is our second Artisan Black Edition coffee, our collection of exclusive coffees, selected for their quality, traceability, and sensory expression. We roast it with a profile aimed at filter methods, seeking to preserve the delicacy of the jasmine, the freshness of the mandarin, and the sweetness of honey. However, if you master espresso, you can achieve an exceptional cup.
Available exclusively in a 200 g format.
The Compás (Semnornis ramphastinus) is one of the most unique birds in Colombia's Andean forests. Its plumage combines black, yellow, gray, and an intense red on its belly. But its most extraordinary characteristic is its song. These birds can sing in duets, coordinating their voices to create a sequence that seems to be performed by a single individual. Each contributes its part, and both must listen to each other to maintain the rhythm. This way of communicating reminds us of something fundamental at Artisan: the best coffees are the result of shared work.
The first duet begins in Colombia. Carlos Arango, producer at Finca El Origen, shade-grows this Geisha, selects the cherries at their optimal point of ripeness, and controls every stage of its processing, from the 36 hours of cherry stabilization to the thermal shock and drying. Then we come in, in Málaga, seeking with the roast to preserve the delicacy of such an appreciated variety and develop all its potential. The producer and the roaster contribute two different voices to the same coffee. If one of them fails, the result loses its balance.
But the song is not over yet. When the coffee arrives at home, a second duet begins: that of the customer with the work already carried out by the producer and the roaster. The choice of grind, water temperature, and the way of preparing the coffee allow its aromas to be expressed in different ways. In a good extraction, jasmine, juicy mandarin, honey, and syrup appear, accompanied by a creamy texture. Each preparation is a new interpretation of that shared work. And that is one of the things we like most about specialty coffee: whoever prepares it also participates in the result.
Compás offers us another connection with this Geisha: its relationship with the fruits and the trees. It feeds on forest fruits and lives in the wooded environments of the Andean mountains. Our coffee grows at an altitude of 1,600 meters, under trees that regulate the light, temperature, and humidity of the coffee plantation. In both cases, the natural environment has a fundamental importance. Furthermore, the selection of the ripe fruit, which is also represented in the Artisan logo, is the starting point of our work. Before talking about fermentations, roasts, or recipes, we need a good cherry picked at the right time.
There is also something that the delicacy of the Geisha and the uniqueness of the Compás share. This bird lives in family groups that can collaborate in raising the young, and its coordinated songs require constant interaction between individuals. Something similar happens with coffee: each decision influences the next. The harvest conditions the processing, the drying prepares the bean for the roast, and the extraction determines how we perceive its aromas. That is why we chose Compás: because it represents the harmony of a work in which each participant contributes something, and the result depends on how all those contributions are combined.
Siempre había comprado café del supermercado y quería probar eso del café de especialidad. La diferencia se nota muchísimo. Lo que más me ha gustado del pack es poder probar varios cafés y descubrir cuál encaja más conmigo.
No tengo una cafetera profesional ni entiendo demasiado de café. Lo preparo en mi cafetera italiana de toda la vida y está espectacular. Cada bolsa tiene un sabor diferente y se nota muchísimo comparado con el café que tomaba antes.
Llevo tiempo tomando café de especialidad y me ha sorprendido bastante el pack. Hay perfiles diferentes y eso hace que sea divertido ir cambiando de café. El Brasil Santa Cecilia me ha encantado especialmente.
Pensaba que lo del café de especialidad era un poco marketing, pero después de probar estos cafés entiendo perfectamente por qué la gente habla tanto de ello. Tiene mucho más aroma y encuentras sabores que nunca había notado en un café.
Lo mejor es poder comparar unos con otros. Preparándolos en V60 se aprecian muchísimo las diferencias entre cada origen y perfil. Una selección muy buena tanto para descubrir cafés nuevos como para regalar.
Lo compré porque quería dejar las cápsulas y probar algo mejor. No tenía ni idea de qué café elegir, así que este pack me pareció la forma más fácil de empezar. Después de probarlos tengo claro que no vuelvo al café de antes.
Una forma sencilla de empezar a descubrir todo lo que puede ofrecer un buen café.
Every day from Monday to Friday we prepare orders for our transport agency to pick them up at 2pm. If we have all the coffees you have ordered and they are roasted, we will send them that same day. Otherwise we will do everything possible to get it out the next day. Our transport agency assures us of deliveries in 24-48 hours.
Example 1:
If you place the order on Sunday afternoon. Normally, if we have roasted all the coffees that you have ordered from us, on Monday morning we will prepare all the orders for the weekend and that Monday at 2:00 p.m. your order will already be on its way, in the hands of our agency. On many occasions it will be delivered the next day, Tuesday before 7pm, but on other occasions you will have to wait until Wednesday to receive your order. For your peace of mind, you will normally receive an email with which you can track it.
Example 2) worst case
If you place an order on Friday at noon, the normal thing is that we will not have time to prepare it and that the agency will not be able to pick it up until Monday at 2 p.m., and it may be that, as in example 1) your order will not arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday before 7 p.m.
Example 3) Best case
If you place your order early on a Tuesday, it is likely (if we have all your coffees roasted) that your order will leave on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. and if the agency delivers it to you in less than 24 hours, you will have your coffee on Wednesday before 7:00 p.m.
Our transport agency, once it has received and processed the package, will send you an email with the tracking number so that you can manage any changes directly with them.
We want you to order coffee from us periodically and to have direct contact with you. For this reason we have created our coffee lovers club, the Artisan Coffee Club , and for the members of this club we will assume the Shipping Costs , of course it is an effort on our part. But we are sure that in this way we will become your trusted coffee supplier and that you will be the first to receive our communications with enthusiasm.
A specialty coffee is characterized by using high-quality beans that are grown in optimal conditions and harvested and processed with care.
This type of coffee is scored by certified cuppers and scores above 80 on the 100-point scale of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
Although we at Artisan Coffee purchase the vast majority of our coffees above 85 SCA points.
Shipping is free on orders from €30 to mainland Spain and Portugal, for all customers. You do not need a code or to be subscribed to the newsletter or the Artisan Club. For other destinations, the corresponding rates apply.
This information has little to do with what you usually find in supermarkets, and the only information you will have is whether it is natural roasted, blended or roasted (we talk about this below in another question).
When we talk about processes there are basically 3 types:
The degree of roast refers to how much a coffee bean has been roasted. Grades range from light roast, which retains many of the bean's natural flavors, to dark roast, which has a more roasted flavor and less of the bean's original flavors. In specialty coffee, the roast is carefully selected to highlight the unique flavors and characteristics of each bean.
In general, we apply a medium roast to our coffees, except in certain cases when we will apply a medium-low roast so as not to lose those delicate notes that tend to disappear with larger roasts.
We roast each coffee in a completely different way, and in our control tastings we define whether that coffee needs a different roast than the one we have done in order to further enhance its flavor notes.
All our coffees are Arabica and are roasted naturally , and in no case do we use roasting.
We only apply heat and do not add any extra ingredients, like roasting does, which adds sugar.
Many specialty coffee producers practice sustainable growing methods that protect the environment. This may include using shade to protect coffee plants and conserve biodiversity, water conservation through efficient irrigation systems, and composting coffee waste. Additionally, many specialty coffee producers receive a fair price for their product, allowing them to invest in sustainable agricultural practices.
In addition, our coffee bags are part of a CO2 compensation project.
