Grown high in the Ayuyus Mountains of Amazonas, Peru, this exceptional Gesha comes from Finca Los Santos, a family-run farm cultivating coffee since 1941. Now led by third-generation producer Jose Santos Requejo, the farm is dedicated to sustainable, organic-focused farming practices, with rich soils maintained through constant pruning and natural cultivation methods without pesticides or herbicides.
This lot is naturally processed, beginning with carefully handpicked cherries selected at peak ripeness. After a 72-hour fermentation, the coffee is slowly dried on raised beds for 40–45 days under carefully controlled conditions, ensuring clarity, sweetness, and complexity in the final cup.
The result is an expressive and elegant coffee with vibrant fruit character, delicate floral aromatics, and a refined sweetness that highlights the distinctive qualities of the Gesha varietal and the unique terroir of northern Peru.
