Gilmer Cordova - Peruvian Washed Gesha

An exceptional microlot from Cajamarca, Peru. Meticulously sorted and processed for a clean and well balanced cup. Gilmer planted Gesha about five years ago and is harvesting some of the best lots we've tasted. The Gesha variety is known for it's floral, juicy notes, while the Peruvian terrior adds a balanced buttery body. 

Our first trip to Peru was in 2019. It was a "discovery trip" to learn more about the coffee culture, associations and producers. We first met Gilmer Cordova on that trip, as he was helping organize LimCof, the producer association we purchase coffee from in Jaen, Cajamarca, Peru. Each year we visit our partners in Peru and Gilmer is always a happy host. He's a dedicated coffee farmer and an integral organizer for coffee exports out of Cajamarca Peru. 

Fun fact- Gilmer is Augusto Calle's neighbor. If you like Augusto's coffee, you'll like Gilmers too. 

Peru has some of the greatest coffee potential we've seen. Haubal is nestled into the mountainous region of Cajamarca. The Andes Mountains shape the area and provide unique growing conditions that are prime for coffee cultivation. We've been blown away by the quality of coffee coming from Cajamarca.
