Provenance

This coffee, produced by the Hachi Project - a research initiative founded in 2024 by two of the world’s most influential coffee producers - Diego Bermudez (Colombia) and Allan Hartmann (Panama) - is one of two Hachi coffees we have in our catalogue that represent the pinnacle of innovation in coffee production.

The project's primary objective is to implement biogenetic protocols to maximise the inherent genetic expression and flavour potential of every coffee plant type. The philosophy is entirely holistic - the extraction of quality doesn't begin in the post-harvest process, it begins in the plant itself.

The name “Hachi” derives from the Japanese word for eight, symbolising infinity - an emblem of the boundless possibilities emergent when cultivation and processing are informed by scientific rigour.

Spanning five farms across Colombia and Panama, a stream of extraordinary coffees produced by the project has built Hachi a reputation for truly unique flavour profiles and remarkable complexity, and we're delighted to have two of their headline Geisha lots in our catalogue - the Hachi Kibō Geisha Low-Caf you see here, and the Hachi Saikō Geisha.

Hachi's Low-Caf process introduces a new approach to partial decaffeination - one designed to preserve the complexity and clarity high-quality varieties such as Geisha are celebrated for.

The process begins by fermenting freshly washed beans in a sealed tank with Cascara - a natural extract made from the coffee’s own fruit and mucilage. This creates a rich, flavour-protective environment that prepares the coffee for gentle decaffeination.
