Justino's farm Finca Limonniyoc has been growing typica and bourbon varieties for 15 years, and geisha just for the last five years. Their drying area receives natural shade from pacay and other native trees. They use traditional methods such as pack animals to transport their coffee down from their perch at 2100 meters, a journey that takes two to three hours. 

After harvesting only ripe cherries, the coffee was pulped, leaving just part of the mucilage intact. Following a brief fermentation, the coffee was washed and then dried on raised beds over 15-20 days.

This washed Geisha from Peru represents a compelling intersection of origin and varietal. Grown by Justino Huaman at 2100 meters, the coffee benefits from the Geisha varietal's renowned potential for distinctive aromatics and clarity. The washed processing method typically emphasizes cleaner acidity and brighter fruit expression compared to natural processes, allowing the varietal's inherent characteristics to shine. Revolver Coffee's tasting profile—orange, mango, and grape—suggests a coffee that balances tropical fruitiness with subtle complexity. Peruvian coffees from higher elevations often develop refined sweetness and body, making this a noteworthy example of what small-lot, varietal-focused sourcing can achieve.
