2026 Magna Maldonado Padilla - Peru

We have only sourced a handful of coffees from northern Peru. This is a compelling expression of the Gesha variety grown in a region we very rarely work in. In the cup we find apple blossom, cherry, and Key lime.

The 2026 Magna Maldonado Padilla from Sey Coffee represents a compelling selection from northern Peru. Produced by Magna Maldonado Padilla, this lot features the Gesha varietal, a plant widely celebrated in the specialty industry for its distinct, tea-like clarity and delicate aromatic profile. When evaluating such high-clarity coffees, tasters often look for nuanced acidity and refined sweetness that distinguish the cup.

The roaster identifies notes of apple blossom, cherry, and Key lime in this specific harvest. To better understand how these descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee sensory analysis, one might consult the flavor wheel. While Gesha coffees are frequently prized for their floral and citrus-forward characteristics, the specific expression of these traits is deeply influenced by the unique terroir of the northern Peruvian landscape. This offering provides a focused look at the intersection of meticulous production and the inherent elegance of the Gesha variety.
