Limited Roast - Eli Espinoza Geisha
Natural Geisha from Peru, produced by one of the true pioneers of highest quality Peruvian coffees: Eli Espinoza.
Peru is no longer a range-bound origin but a confirmed producer of high-scoring naturals, in part thanks to the pioneering coffees of Eli Espinoza.
Eli is the owner of 4ha of coffee in the village of las Pirias in Chirinos. He processes all his coffee at his house, which sits at 1800masl and his farms are all between 1800 and 2000masl. He started out picking coffee in the village, and after a while was able to buy his own land and a house to work on producing his very own coffee. Eli's continuous pursuit in higher quality and investment to a solar dryer for being able to produce natural processed coffees has led to big success.
Naturals are riskier and require meticulous care from both the producer and the roaster, but can also hit higher cup scores through their greater depth of flavor and complexity. Eli entered CoE Peru with his Natural Geisha and won 8th place with a score of 88.73. This delicate coffee is extremely clean with long aftertaste, not to forget the interesting and complex taste profile!
Sold in 125g bags.
