The story

Intelligentsia’s Origin Coffeelab partnership introduced Rayos del Sol in 2015. Percy’s farm name refers to the hope he saw during the difficult early years of establishing production; his Geisha earned 30th place in Peru’s Cup of Excellence.

Challenges

Intelligentsia specifically identifies wet harvest and drying weather as the farm’s processing challenge.

Innovations

Percy dedicated one hectare—about 20% of the farm—to Geisha and installed multilevel raised beds to improve airflow. Intelligentsia documents same-day depulping, about 24 hours of tank fermentation, rinsing, and raised-bed drying for its releases.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
