PERU | Andres Torres Geisha

This coffee has a rich aroma unique to the Geisha variety, and has the mellow fruitiness and sweetness that is characteristic of natural process coffee. It also has floral notes reminiscent of rose hips, impressions of ripe stone fruits such as nectarines and yellow peaches, and tropical notes reminiscent of mangoes and melons, and you can enjoy the creamy mouthfeel and pleasant liquid.

■ FLAVOR COMMENT

Rosehip, nectarine, mango, orange

■ INFORMATION

We purchase fresh lots from Cultivar every year, and this is the third year. This season, we purchased Geisha from Andres from Santa Teresa Farm.
Santa Teresa Farm is located in the Camporedondo area, and the El Puquio area was purchased by Andres in 2010. (Don Andres' "Don" is like a title of respect in Japan.)

At the time, it was about 11.5 hectares, at an altitude of 1682 meters, and access to the farm was complicated because there were no roads and no public lighting. They all worked as a family, making sure that our farm had road access and also approached the environmental challenge by providing drinking water for the transport units.

A few months later, thanks to Andres, the Geisha arrived at the farm, and he continues to improve the crop every day to provide high-quality coffee. In 2021, this farm won 5th place in the Cup of Excellence. The processing of this Geisha coffee involves sorting and harvesting the cherries, placing them in a tank of water, and removing any that float. After that, the ones that remain at the bottom are placed in a raised-bed dryer, and the cherries are moved several times a day for 30 days until they are dried.
