What this coffee feels like
Graceful and exquisitely refined, this Gesha unfolds with the same quiet elegance as soft morning light filling a minimalist space.
Jasmine florals appear not as perfume, but as movement light, effortless and almost weightless. The freshness of green grape feels crisp and luminous, while sweet orange brings a gentle warmth that never overwhelms. As the cup cools, notes of fig jam emerge like subtle shadows cast across concrete, adding depth without disturbing the coffee's remarkable clarity. Its silky, tea-like body moves with quiet precision, balancing vibrant acidity with serene composure.
The finish lingers like the final movement of a slow dance, delicate, floral and impossibly clean, leaving behind a feeling of stillness, purity and effortless balance.
This coffee's story
Lorenzo Arbildo Ubillus owns and operates the 2-Ha farm Finca La Naranja. Located in Chirinos, La Naranja enjoys a high altitude, making it an area known for excellent, high-quality coffees. It is central to their culture to care for the environment and the farm surroundings through organic and sustainable practices specifically, through the management of compost and bio-fertilizers. Coffee is selectively harvested and fermented in GrainPro bags during processing.
Looking to the future, Lorenzo aims to be perseverant and adapt to new changes and challenges. It's his goal to have their coffee sold in premier quality markets.
Cajamarca is a semi-dry, semi-cold, tropical region in the northeastern highlands of Peru with very fertile soil at high Andean mountain elevations. All of these factors contribute to the potential of specialty coffee production in the area, which is growing. It is known as the main coffee-producing region of Peru, accounting for around 25% of national production. Smallholder producers farm on 2-3 hectares of land, many of whom practice organic farming. Most farmers in the area work independently, but the recent increase in cooperatives has been effective in increasing the quality of coffees produced in the area.
Written by Cafe Imports Europe:
Peru is a shining example of progress and development through relationships. In 2014, we met Rony Lavan, a cupper at a cooperative in the Cajamarca region of Peru. After spending some quality time working alongside him, we started talking about how we could do smaller, higher quality, and more traceable offerings together. Today, we have been working with Rony, now-owner of his own company, Lima Coffees located in Jaen, Peru. We have been sourcing and developing the vast majority of our Peruvian coffees alongside the team at Lima Coffees since 2017, historically spending time in Jaen cupping and approving coffees while visiting farms and connecting with the many fantastic producers that Lima Coffees represents.
Processing
The vast majority of coffee in Perú is Washed, and many producers own their own wet-milling equipment, though smallholders may also deliver cherry to a central processing unit or cooperative for processing. The coffees are usually depulped the same day they are harvested and given a 12–18-hour open-air fermentation before being washed clean of mucilage. (The fermentation time may be longer in cooler areas at higher elevations.) Drying styles vary in Perú, and coffee may be dried on patios, raised beds, in parabolic dryers, or mechanically.
