From the producer

Edgardo Cruz Meza is a pioneering producer in the Jaén region of Cajamarca, Peru, recognized for being among the first to introduce the Gesha variety to this specific northern territory.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and sorting

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated to remove defects, and depulped on the day of harvest.

02
Fermentation and washing

The depulped coffee dry-fermented for 32 hours before washing.

03
Drying

The washed parchment dried on raised beds.

What was added?

No additives are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, inoculated culture, or post-roast flavoring is disclosed.

Why it matters

The documented washed method keeps the processing claim separate from unsupported enhanced or co-fermented terminology.

What you might taste

Dragon fruit, Key lime, and jasmine, according to SEY.
