Roasters' Notes:
El Triangulo expresses the inherent qualities of the Pink Bourbon variety with remarkable sweetness, high cup clarity, and bright acidity with a more tea-like structure. This lot in particular presents a vibrant cup with notes of honeyed stone fruit and layered juiciness.
We approach this roast from a moderate starting point, building momentum in a controlled, measured way. Careful attention is given through the mid-phase of the roast to balance sweetness development and clarity. From first crack, the focus is on maximising sweetness while preserving the delicate aromatic layers of this reserve lot. The result is a cup that remains bright, juicy, and articulate, with a clear expression of varietal character and exceptional processing.

Region Info
La Chirimoya is a small organic farm in El Huabo, San Ignacio, owned and operated by Victoria Ramos and her husband, Ulises Neyra. It sits high in the Cajamarca region between 1700–1800m ASL.
Over the years, Victoria and Ulises have become well respected within their community for their commitment to quality and specialty coffee production. Their farm spans just 1.5 hectares, where Geisha is cultivated in small volumes with close attention throughout harvest and processing. After harvesting, cherries are traditionally washed, fermented in tiled concrete tanks, and slowly dried on raised beds inside solar dryers to preserve clarity and sweetness in the cup.
La Chirimoya is sourced through Origin Coffee Lab, whose work in Peru centres around long-term producer relationships, transparent sourcing, and supporting smallholder microlot production.
