This coffee is a snapshot of place, grown on a one-hectare plot within El Guayaquil farm in the highlands of Cajamarca. Luis Andrés Pintado is a third-generation producer, building on his family's traditions while pushing toward precision and quality. After studying coffee tasting and post-harvest processes, Luis returned to the farm to lead with a new approach: one rooted in both science and story.

This Gesha lot undergoes a carefully managed fermentation lasting 48 hours, preserving clarity, aromatic finesse, and balance. Drying is slow and controlled over 12 days, followed by rest and stabilization to ensure consistency.

We’ve roasted it ultra-light to let the nuances shine. Expect lemon candy, delicate florals, and orange peel, with honeyed sweetness and caramel smoothness that lingers.
