About Beans:

The washed Geisha from El Mirador Farm, lot VSC002, which was released in September, received unanimous praise from everyone. This lot underwent double fermentation (60 hours of whole-cherry fermentation + 48 hours of dry fermentation after depulping), resulting in a richer, sweeter flavor profile leaning toward tropical fruit notes.

In contrast, this VSC005 lot skipped the whole-cherry fermentation stage. After harvesting, the cherries were immediately depulped and then underwent 60 hours of dry fermentation. As a result, the overall expression is fresher and more elegant, with a bright and upright acidity.

There is also a clear difference in the dry aroma’s floral character: compared to the rich, sweet, creamy gardenia notes of VSC002, VSC005 leans toward a cleaner, more delicate magnolia fragrance. At higher temperatures, intense orange blossom rushes forward with the strength of orange blossom essential oil, then transitions into bright tangerine juice and juicy Kyoho grape; at lower temperatures, it reveals the soft, mellow sweetness of peach.

This washed Geisha from northern Peru, true to the meaning of the farm’s name El Mirador (“the lookout” or “the peak”), represents a pinnacle of northern Peruvian coffee. We highly recommend it.
