This coffee is sourced from producer Gerson Martinez in Guatemala. It features the rare Gesha variety harvested from plants at least three years of age. Ripe cherries are hand-picked, rinsed, sorted, and dried on raised beds to 10-11% moisture. The coffee delivers big, juicy tropical fruit flavors with complex floral notes characteristic of the Geisha varietal.
PERC Coffee was founded in 2010 by Philip Brown in Savannah, Georgia, beginning with a Diedrich IR 12 roaster sourced from eBay and initial deliveries made by bike and backpack. The roastery operates from a restored warehouse alongside an organic community garden, embedding sustainability into both coffee sourcing and physical space. Brown sources colorful coffees from various origins, prioritizing long term producer relationships that allow consistency and trust building. The roasting philosophy centers on small batch profiles crafted to maximize sweetness and varietal character, while monthly free public cupping sessions invite the community into the sensory experience of specialty coffee.
