FriedhatsRoastery presentsa coffee from Peru that will win you over with its delicacy and unexpected complexity. This Geisha lot offers an elegant and light profile, blending notes of pine needle tea, juicy white grapes, and sweet red apples. The result is a clean, fresh, and very smooth cup that feels calm yet has enough character to appeal even to the most discerning palates. It is a coffee that relies not on flashiness, but on harmony and natural beauty—exactly the kind you’ll want to come back to.
Behind this profile is producer Kely Mileni Jara Fernandez, who grows coffee at the Finca America farm in the Jaén region of Cajamarca. The farm is located at an altitude of around 1, 785 meters above sea level, where the cooler climate slows the ripening of the cherries and allows for the development of delicate aromatic compounds. Kely focuses on the careful selection of ripe cherries and sustainable farming practices that respect local conditions and long-term soil quality. This results in coffees that are clean, balanced, and reflect the specific character of the Peruvian terroir.
Processing is done using the traditional washed method, which highlights the natural elegance of this Geisha. After being hand-harvested, the cherries are pulped and fermented to remove residual mucilage and enhance their natural acidity. This is followed by thorough washing and slow drying, which stabilizes the flavor profile and preserves its purity. This process results in a cup that is bright, clear, and delicately structured—a coffee that doesn’t need to be loud to be exceptional.
