Peru Lorenzo Arbildo Ubillus Washed Filter - Single Origin

Peru Lorenzo Arbildo Ubillus Washed Filter - Single Origin.

Lorenzo Arbildo Ubillus cultivates coffee on his two-hectare farm, Finca La Naranja, located in Chirinos within Peru’s Cajamarca region. Farming at high elevation in a semi cool tropical climate, Lorenzo works with fertile Andean soils well suited to quality focused coffee production. Lorenzo’s focus is forward looking; refining his processing, maintaining environmental stewardship, and positioning his coffee within higher value specialty markets.

This lot is Gesha, a variety with lineage that trace back to selections made in the 1930s and 1950s, both derived from Ethiopian landrace material. While traditionally associated with Panama, Gesha is increasingly being cultivated in Peru, where high elevations and cooler climates allow the variety to express its characteristic structure and aromatic complexity.

Harvesting is carried out selectively, with ripe cherry picked and processed on farm. Lorenzo utilises a modified fermentation approach, sealing cherry in GrainPro bags to create a controlled environment during fermentation. This method allows for reduced oxygen exposure and more stable thermal conditions compared to open air systems, supporting greater consistency and control during mucilage breakdown.

This Geisha lot represents a carefully tended microlot from Lorenzo Arbildo Ubillus in Peru's Cajamarca region. Geisha is prized for its distinctive tea-like clarity and floral complexity, qualities that appear well-suited to the washed processing method employed here—a technique that typically emphasizes cleaner, brighter cup characteristics. Code Black Coffee's tasting notes of citrus, delicate florals, and sweetness suggest this coffee captures those signature varietal traits.

Sourced and roasted by Code Black Coffee, this single-origin filter coffee offers a window into what Peru's high-altitude Cajamarca region can produce in the hands of a dedicated producer. The combination of varietals known for clarity and a clean processing method creates the foundation for the delicate sensory profile described—inviting exploration with a flavor wheel to identify specific citrus and floral notes in the cup.
