We’re excited to present to you August’s Pinnacle coffee from a small 6.5 hectares farm in Cajamarca, Peru. At La Lucuma, producer Franco grows Geshas as well as Yellow Caturras, which contributes to 70% of his harvest. 

This is one of our first instances coming across a Gesha variety from Peru! This coffee was grown at a relatively high elevation of 1850 - 1900 MASL, which is incredibly useful for the Gesha plants to thrive in. Franco utilises a ceramic tank for his fermentation, as opposed to cement. The coffees are pulped & dry fermented for up to 18 hours, due to the cooler temperatures at this altitude. 

La Lucuma Gesha is incredibly floral yet displaying a weight & mouthfeel that’s reminiscent of the origin’s character. We love the delicate floral characters of White Tea & Lilies, as well as the freshness and elegance of Clementines.  We hope you will enjoy this coffee as much as we do!
