Peru Maximiliano Garcia#2 Geisha

About This Coffee

Floral Geisha is now available. It has a floral impression, like jasmine and violets. Yet a coffee with a chocolatey aftertaste. It has a complex sweetness due to the natural process. Maximiliano is one of the most respected growers around El Huabo in San Ignacio, northern Peru. He is also Ulises Neyras father, that's another farmer in the area we are consistently buying from. When we visited them the first time in 2019 there was no doubt that they think differently and pay great attention to details and are very quality-oriented. Maximiliano's farm has 4 hectares planted with coffees. Mainly red and Yellow Caturra, but he also has varieties like Parainema and Geisha. The farm, Garmas is located at 1710 masl close to the village of El Huabo. The farm has a small beneficio where he pulps and ferments the coffee. The coffee is dry fermented for about 24 hours before washed and rinsed, and then dried in a parabolic dryer by his house and on the roof of the house. He also uses shade nets for a more controlled drying process. Under normal conditions, the drying takes about 15-20 days
