What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on various factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

What are tasting notes?

  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

La Prosperidad Coop

This coffee is sourced from the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera La Prosperidad de Chirinos, a cooperative renowned for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. The producers share a focus on environmentally responsible practices, prioritising soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable land management. Their dedication is a collective effort to elevate the Chirinos region's reputation as a premier coffee origin, ensuring each harvest reflects Peruvian craftsmanship and excellence.

Cajamarca

This coffee comes from the highlands of northern Peru in the department of Cajamarca, a region rich in both history and agricultural abundance. The Andes mountains run through its landscape, and its capital city is one of the oldest in South America, once serving as a key center for the Incan empire.

This lot is from the Chirinos district within Cajamarca, an area offering exceptional high-altitude growing conditions from 1,500 to over 2,000 meters. Its volcanic soils and cool mountain climate allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, resulting in a cup with rich, complex flavours and pronounced sweetness. The producers of the La Prosperidad cooperative leverage these ideal conditions with their dedication to sustainable farming, creating coffees that are a true reflection of Peruvian craftsmanship and excellence.

Washed Processing

This lot undergoes a unique Washed process mastered by the producers of La Prosperidad. After selectively handpicking only the ripest cherries, the coffee is placed in tanks to undergo an extended 36-hour fermentation before being washed.

This carefully controlled step is crucial—it refines the coffee's fruit-forward characteristics and builds a more layered sweetness, all while preserving the clean, vibrant, and bright profile that makes this Gesha so exceptional.
