COOPERATIVE | PRODUCER
La Lúcuma is a family-run coffee farm led by Franco Huaches Montalvan in El Limón, Chirinos, within Peru’s San Ignacio region of Cajamarca. After challenges caused by coffee leaf rust and weak conventional coffee prices, Franco sought technical support and introduced the Geisha variety as part of a broader move towards more distinctive, quality-focused production.
The decision has brought significant progress to the farm, helping improve both cup quality and the value of its coffee. Franco’s Geisha has since achieved recognition in regional and national competitions, reflecting the family’s commitment to careful cultivation, selective harvesting and continuous improvement while creating a resilient and sustainable future for their production.
COFFEE | PROCESSING
Franco Huaches’ Geisha Inca is a refined expression of high-altitude Peruvian coffee from La Lúcuma in El Limón, Chirinos, within the mountains of Cajamarca. Grown between 1,850 and 1,900 metres above sea level, this lot reflects Franco’s decision to pursue distinctive varieties and quality-focused production after his farm faced coffee leaf rust and low conventional coffee prices.
Only fully ripe cherries are selectively harvested, with workers trained to identify ideal ripeness and daily picking volumes carefully limited. After pulping, the coffee undergoes a controlled dry fermentation in sealed tanks for approximately 32 to 36 hours before washing and slow drying in a parabolic dryer, preserving sweetness, clarity and elegant complexity.

Brewing Advice

WATER

Because brewed coffee is mostly water, its mineral balance has a major impact on flavour. We recommend filtered or soft mineral water below 150 ppm TDS to support sweetness, clarity and acidity without muting the coffee’s character.

RESTING

We roast on a Loring for clarity, sweetness and structure. For the most expressive flavour notes, we recommend resting our coffees for three to four weeks, allowing excess gas to release and the cup to become more balanced and defined.

OUR BREWING APPROACH

We recommend brewing with a V60 or similar drip brewer. Start with 18g of coffee to 300g of water at 92–96°C. Use a medium-fine grind and aim for a total brew time of approximately 2:45–3:15.
Recipes are starting points rather than fixed rules, as water, grinder, brewer and personal taste will all affect extraction. Adjust the grind first: go finer for greater sweetness and body, or coarser for more clarity and a faster drawdown.

Shipping & Dispatch

We roast every Monday, allowing each order to be prepared, packed and quality checked before dispatch on Wednesday or Thursday.
To guarantee inclusion in the following Monday’s roast, please place your order by 11:59pm on Sunday. Orders placed on Monday or Tuesday may still be dispatched that week when additional bags are available from the Monday roast, although this cannot be guaranteed.
UK orders are sent using Royal Mail Tracked 48, while international orders are shipped via a tracked international service, with shipping costs calculated at checkout.
