About This Coffee

This coffee was roasted on 9 March 2024. A washed gesha grown at high elevations by Maria Nieves on her Cup of Excellence winning farm. From Christopher: "This is my first purchase through Yellow Rooster and my first from Maria Nieves Tantalean Fernandez, whose leadership of Asprocafe Alpes Andinos ensures a fair price for the members of the cooperative. While women remain both marginalized and minorities within the global supply chain, research demonstrates that involving women in finances of production leads to greater financial security and equity for producers. This coffee comes from Maria's first harvest of gesha from her 1.5 hectare, Cup of Excellence top-placing farm and exemplifies the quality potential of Peruvian coffee—presenting in the cup with notes of wild blueberry, tangerine, mandarin orange and thyme."
