Peru - CEMCAVIR Villa Rica - Geisha Anaerobic Washed

About This Coffee

This Geisha variety coffee is sourced from CEMCAVIR, a women-led cooperative in Villa Rica, Pasco, Peru. Grown at 1,800 meters altitude in the central rainforest between the Andean highlands and Amazon basin, the coffee benefits from cool nights, abundant rainfall, and volcanic soils. The beans undergo controlled anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, followed by pulping, washing, and drying on raised beds. Flavor notes include lemon zest, orange peel, honey, and floral aromatics, with a palate featuring lemon custard, pomelo, Earl Grey tea, and a lingering orange blossom finish.
