La Cabra

Context

Geisha is among the most celebrated varietals in specialty coffee, widely prized for its potential to express vivid floral aromatics and delicate, tea-like clarity — qualities that have made it a benchmark for producers and roasters alike. Here, Juan Peña's Yacuri lot is handled as a washed coffee, a process that tends to emphasize clean, transparent cup character, allowing a varietal's intrinsic personality to come forward with minimal interference from fermentation-driven fruit.

La Cabra have long gravitated toward coffees that reward careful attention, and a washed Geisha sits firmly in that tradition. The floral and stone fruit notes they identify here sit naturally within the flavor families most associated with the varietal and process combination — though how those qualities ultimately resolve depends entirely on the specific growing conditions and craft that define this particular lot from producer Juan Peña.
