Colombia: Mikava Santuario Reserve

The Gesha Andrè brought to the 2025 Brewers Cup: fresh, citrusy, from one of Colombia's most awarded farms.

In the cup

On the nose, lemon, citronella and lemongrass, with green tea, chamomile and clove. On the palate come blueberry and sweet citrus, with vibrant acidity and a clear, lasting sweetness. It stays bright and transparent even as it cools.

Perfect if…

• you want to taste a real competition coffee;

The story

Mikava is a small six-hectare farm in Santuario, at the foot of Tatamá National Natural Park. In 2019 it won the Cup of Excellence Colombia (North) with 92.71 points, at the time the highest score ever recorded in a Colombian CoE. This lot undergoes six days of carbonic maceration in pressurised tanks, then dries in the sun and on raised beds in Marsella, always below 40 °C, down to 10.5% moisture.

Competition-grade freshness

Every Over Your Limits coffee is stored green, vacuum-sealed and frozen, the same technique used for competition coffees, and we roast it only when you order. The cold stops the green bean from ageing and protects its sugars, acidity and aromas, so every lot reaches your cup with the same profile as the day we first tasted it, even months after harvest.

Why Over Your Limits

Because it was born for competition, and you can taste it.
