Eudis Orosco - Gesha Variety

This single-origin Gesha comes from a farm perched above 2,100 meters in Peru, where the elevation and variety combine to produce a coffee with layers of flavor that stand out even in a light roast. You'll find blackberry sweetness, floral aromatics, and bright tropical fruit in each cup—characteristics that reflect both the cultivar and the conditions where it grows.

The farm dedicates a specific section to Gesha cultivation, allowing focused attention on this prized variety. Grown organically and processed with careful quality control through the Incahuasi cooperative, the beans reach you with their delicate flavor profile intact. The light roast preserves the varietal character rather than masking it, so what you taste is largely what the plant and the place contribute.

Gesha is known for producing complex, tea-like cups with pronounced floral and fruit qualities. At this altitude, cool temperatures slow cherry maturation and concentrate sugars, which translates to sweetness and clarity in the finished coffee. If you've tried other light-roast single-origins and found them thin or sour, the natural sweetness here provides balance without heaviness.

This is coffee for deliberate brewing—pour-over, Chemex, or any method that lets you control extraction and highlight nuance. The 12-ounce bag is enough for about two weeks of daily brewing if you're making one or two cups at a time, and the flavor holds up well whether you're drinking it black or with a small addition of milk.

The beans arrive whole, so you'll need a grinder. Freshness matters with light roasts, and the flavors are most vivid in the first few weeks after opening. Store the bag sealed and away from light to keep the aromatics from fading.
