La Lucuma washed Geisha - Peru, Sweven | 200g

Nectarine · White Grape · Magnolia

Exceptionally sweet and juicy, with vibrant phosphoric and tartaric acidity, a crisp stone fruit character, and an expressive white floral fragrance.

Finca La Lúcuma is located in El Limón, Chirinos, in the San Ignacio province of Cajamarca, Peru, sitting between 1,850 and 1,900 metres above sea level. This is our first time working with Franco Huaches Montalvan, and this coffee marks an introduction to his work and approach.

Farming here is shaped by altitude and a challenging climate, where every stage of cultivation requires care and attention. Franco’s approach is practical and hands on, with a focus on precision in the field through manual pruning, controlled fertilisation and close observation of plant health. It is a considered way of working that prioritises quality through consistency and detail.

This lot is produced from Geisha Inca, a locally adapted selection of Geisha developed in Peru. It was introduced at a critical moment for the farm, during a period affected by coffee leaf rust and unstable market conditions. On the recommendation of an agricultural engineer, Franco began planting this variety as a way to improve both resilience and cup quality.

That decision has since reshaped the direction of the farm, leading to stronger performance and recognition in regional and national competitions. For us, this is the beginning of a new relationship, and a chance to share a coffee that reflects both Franco’s work and the evolving potential of Peruvian Geisha.
