ORIGIN

Farm: Lurifunde/ Isaias Poma Tello Region: Cusco Process: Washed Variety: Geisha Elevation: 2100 masl

The Peru Isaias Poma Tello, sourced by Press Coffee Roasters, represents a compelling expression of the Cusco region. Produced by Isaias Poma Tello at 2100 masl, this lot features the Geisha varietal, which is widely celebrated in the specialty coffee industry for its distinct floral aromatics and tea-like clarity. By utilizing a washed process, the producer emphasizes the inherent brightness and structural acidity of the bean, allowing the vibrant notes of apricot, orange juice, and raspberries to take center stage.

When evaluating such complex profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better categorize the nuanced fruit characteristics found in high-elevation lots. While washed coffees are typically prized for their clean, transparent cup profiles, the specific terroir of Cusco often imparts a unique character that distinguishes these beans from other origins. This offering serves as a refined example of how meticulous cultivation and processing can highlight the elegance of the Geisha variety.
