Peru La Lima Geisha from Coffee Collective is a filter coffee that combines the elegance of the Geisha variety with the richness of Peru’s high-altitude terroir. In the cup, distinct floral notes, ripe peach, and candied citrus unfold, creating a complex yet very harmonious flavor profile. The coffee is aromatic, juicy, and full-bodied, with a delicate honeyed sweetness and a long, floral aftertaste. Each sip offers layers of flavor that gradually unfold, revealing the subtle nuances typical of top-quality Geisha lots.
The coffee comes from the Cajamarca region of Peru, one of the country’s most important areas for specialty coffee production. This lot was created in collaboration with producer Jorge Zamora, who grows coffee trees at a high altitude of around 1,900 meters above sea level. It is precisely the combination of the cooler mountain climate, the slow ripening of the cherries, and meticulous work on the farm that allows this coffee to develop its exceptional aroma, sweetness, and clarity. The Geisha variety fully demonstrates its potential here, offering an elegant blend of floral and fruity notes.
The coffee is processed using the washed method, which is ideal for highlighting the delicacy and transparency of this variety. After harvest, the ripe cherries are pulped, fermented, and then washed with clean water to bring out the character of the bean itself. The subsequent slow drying helps preserve the coffee’s complex aroma and natural sweetness. The result is a clean, sophisticated, and layered filter coffee that offers everything lovers of high-quality Geisha coffee seek: floral elegance, juicy fruit, and a long, unforgettable aftertaste.
