INTRO
Our first release of the year from Peru is a beautiful and opulent stunner. Roberto's Gesha is generous on the body and exuberant with its berry-fruit character. The florality is ever present — hitting the senses in the aromatics and the finish with hints of lavender, rose, and honeysuckle. Alongside raspberry, fuji apple, cherry, and a medley of tropical fruits, there is an overall brilliant acidity that makes this a really fun and versatile coffee, easy to brew in all styles.
THE PRODUCER
Roberto Carlos Palomino Flores is a young coffee farmer at just 25 years old who, this year, achieved excellent results with his coffees and is eager to expand his cultivated area. Trained as an agricultural technician, Roberto shares his knowledge and expertise with neighbouring farmers and has been laying the groundwork for an expansive nursery — the foundation for what could be a truly impressive operation in the coming seasons.
Flower Child are delighted to be working with Roberto and watching his skills and ambition translate into extraordinary coffee from La Rinconada.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process at La Rinconada involves:
- 🍒 Selective Hand Harvesting — Only ripe cherries are picked by hand
- 💧 Cherry Washing & Flotation — Cherries are washed to eliminate impurities; floated cherries are discarded
- 🧪 First Fermentation — Cherries ferment for 18 hours prior to de-pulping
- 🧪 Second Fermentation — De-pulped beans ferment for a further 36 hours with no water added, until mucilage separates from the parchment
- 💧 Final Washing — Beans are thoroughly washed after fermentation
- ☀️ Shaded Raised Bed Drying — Dried on shaded raised beds for approximately 20 days until 10.5% moisture content is reached
This double-fermentation washed process produces exceptional clarity and the vibrant floral-fruit complexity that makes this Gesha so captivating.
THE CUP
Roberto's Gesha opens with a brilliant, fruit-forward aromatics and delivers a cup of tremendous depth — big body, vivid berry and tropical fruit notes, and persistent floral florality from first sip through to the lingering finish.
