Poppy Beans - Peru Hugo Pareja Inca Geisha Hybrid Washed - 200g

Poppy Beans – Peru Hugo Pareja is an elite, competition-level specialty microlot that epitomizes high-altitude Peruvian terroir. Grown at a breathtaking altitude of 2300 MASL in the Cusco region, this lot features the highly prized and rare Inca Geisha variety. Producer Hugo Pareja utilizes a sophisticated Hybrid Washed processing method, combining a brief, tightly monitored fermentation stage with pristine washing and slow drying on raised beds. This careful protocol locks in incredible structural sweetness while maintaining immaculate cup discipline and flavor definition, earning the coffee an outstanding 85+ SCA score of 89 points.

The resulting cup delivers stellar flavor separation, a light tea-like body, and brilliant citric acidity. The tasting profile leads with the juicy, round sweetness of ripe apricots, immediately intertwined with a highly fragrant, sophisticated floral canopy of fresh rose petals and delicate orange blossom. This complex experience is beautifully balanced by a comforting, smooth hint of sweet milk chocolate on the lingering finish. Lightly roasted with superb consistency for filter extractions, this lot yields spectacular results across manual pour-overs like the Hario V60.
