Finca Miraflores Cold Water Fermentation Washed Geisha 140 - Peru

Country: Peru Region: Amazon Estate: Miraflores Variety: Geisha Plot: Lot 10 Elevation: 1,920 m Lot: 140 Harvest: August 25 – mid-September 2025 Process: Washed, 100-hour spring-water cold fermentation Flavor Notes: White Florals, Citrus, Bergamot, Apricot About Beans: This year marks our third consecutive year sourcing coffee from Peru’s Miraflores Estate. The washed Geisha from Miraflores has been unanimously loved, thanks in part to the estate’s terroir. Located in northern Peru’s Amazon region, it features high humidity and frequent mist, conditions remarkably similar to those of Panama. Equally important is the meticulous processing led by producer Esther, with strict cherry selection, careful flotation, cold-water fermentation, even turning during drying, and a slow, controlled drying process. In the 2025/26 harvest season, temperatures at the estate were lower than last year, and the harvest took place about a month later. The cooler climate also resulted in fermentation and drying at lower temperatures—slower and more uniform overall. With both the maturity of the Geisha trees and the cooler vintage, this season’s washed Shanghua Geisha possesses all the conditions for peak quality. The cup profile faithfully reflects the exceptional weather and terroir of the year: fresh white florals, bright citrus and bergamot, apricot-like sweetness, and a lingering, refreshing rock sugar finish.
