This lot features the contributions of five smallholder farmers located in Huarmaca, each contributing their expertise to produce exceptional coffee. Located in Peru’s northern highlands, Huarmaca offers ideal conditions for growing high-quality Arabica varieties like Caturra and Typica. The region’s high altitudes and cool climate contribute to the coffee’s vibrant acidity and unique flavor profiles. Prominent among this group of farmers is Yony Quispe, a former chef from Lima who turned to coffee farming during the pandemic. Yony’s culinary background is evident in his meticulous approach to coffee production.
On his farm, Yony hand-picks coffee cherries at peak ripeness and uses the flotation method to select only the best. The cherries are pulped with a motorized machine and fermented for 24 to 36 hours, depending on the temperature. Yony carefully monitors the fermentation process to ensure the desired flavor profile. The beans are then dried in solar dryer, where Yony oversees the drying time to maintain quality. Yony’s commitment to sustainability sets his farm apart. He integrates shade trees and additional crops like citrus fruits, creating a diverse ecosystem that benefits the coffee plants. He uses living barriers to promote biodiversity and protect the soil, avoiding herbicides.
We ship freshly roasted coffee Monday through Friday via UPS ground. Most orders placed before 2pm EST will ship same day.
Delayed, Lost or Stolen Packages
We will do our best to help troubleshoot with you, but we
cannot control what happens when your package leaves the roasting
facility. Once the package has been picked up, it is out of our hands.
Holidays, severe weather, carrier staff shortage and high package volumes are causing delays in package transit time.
As a small business, we are unable to absorb the costs of
packages being lost in transit. We cannot refund orders that are marked
as delivered with a tracking number, even if a customer is stating they
haven’t received the package.
For UPS claims, please email us at georgio@georgioscoffee.com
When checking out, *Please make sure your address is correct!*
In order to balance getting your coffee out to
you as quickly as possible with freshness of roast we ship all coffee as
ordered within one week of the roast date. We typically roast
Wednesdays and Fridays.
In our experience most coffees
taste best after a few days rest, and high quality coffees stay at peak
flavor up to six weeks post roast.
