Peru Neyda Casa - SL09 (Inka Geisha)

About This Coffee

A floral flavor reminiscent of pink flowers, with juicy sweetness of peach and white grape emerging as the temperature cools. The combination of a velvety texture allows you to savor the complex acidity. This lot features the "SL09" variety, grown only in the remote Inca Wasi region, which boasts some of Peru's finest terroir. Locally, it is sometimes called "Inka Geisha." SL09 has a rare taste profile—fruity, floral, and clean—that has captivated coffee buyers worldwide, making it a standout variety. Until recently, it was called "Inka Geisha" due to its flavor, but genetic analysis has since confirmed it is very close to SL09, an Ethiopian-derived variety selected by a Kenyan research institute. The producer of this lot, Neyda, owns a farm on the slopes of the majestic Apu Chuntavilca mountain in the Inca Wasi region. Many surrounding farms are located at altitudes above 2,000m, with some exceeding 2,400m. The volcanic soil, rich in minerals and organic matter, contributes to the unique flavor profile of this coffee. Processed using traditional washed methods, this lot truly embodies the "taste of the land."
