Farm and Producer
Juan Peña grows coffee at Hacienda La Papaya in Saraguro, Loja, Ecuador. The farm's dry-tropical setting is supported by drip irrigation, soil monitoring and dedicated drying rooms. Separate seed plantings and small processing batches allow the team to follow each variety from cultivation through preparation.
Variety
Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.
Processing
Natural processing dries the coffee with the cherry surrounding the seed. Contact with the fruit during fermentation and drying can contribute to fruit expression and body; careful moisture management remains important.
