Las Margaritas Honey Geisha, Colombia

This coffee came in for my birthday, and I knew quite quickly it was the one I wanted to release.

Not just because it was beautiful, but because it connected back to something much earlier. Over a decade ago, I used a Geisha from one of the Café Granja La Esperanza farms in one of my first major competitions. I still remember how clearly it stood apart. It was one of those coffees that quietly shifts your understanding of what coffee can be.

This lot came from Las Margaritas, one of those same farms. Returning to it now didn’t feel nostalgic so much as continuous, like picking up a thread that had been sitting there for years.

When I tasted the coffee, it felt composed from the beginning. Strawberry moved into guava and papaya, softening into banana and custard apple, with jasmine and lavender lifting through the cup without becoming sharp. The sweetness carried all the way through, honeyed, settled, and very long.

Everything moved together.

That feeling of control and precision is what led to the creature.

The White Sabertooth sits within the Mythic class alongside the Microraptor, part of the same prehistoric lineage, but with a very different presence. Not a dinosaur, but something that still belongs naturally within that ancient world. A creature built on patience and exactness rather than force. It observes first. Then moves fully.

Illustrated by @kitsukaizen, she sits at the Las Margaritas waterfall, taken directly from the farm itself. Golden-eyed, composed, deliberate. There is a stillness to her, but not passivity. More a sense that everything is already understood before anything happens.

This release marked the arrival of a new creature into Roastersaurus.

The coffee itself was honey processed, with controlled mucilage left on during drying. That choice gave the cup its cohesion, building texture without heaviness and allowing transitions between flavours to feel seamless rather than segmented. At this level, Geisha doesn’t need exaggeration. The process supports the coffee rather than reshaping it.

Preorders for White Sabertooth moved quickly and the release sold through shortly after launch. Each pack carried the Mythic White Sabertooth card, tied specifically to this moment.

Some coffees stay with you because of how they taste.

Others stay with you because of where they sit in your life.

This one does both.
