This Gesha variety coffee is sourced from the Cusco region of Peru, grown at an altitude of 2,150 meters. It is a washed coffee that offers an elegant and clean cup profile. Tasting notes include jasmine, apricot, pear, white flowers, sweet lime, panela, and apple. The coffee is characterized by a viscous body that remains light on the finish.
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
