You may have noticed that a few of the producers we have been buying from for years are beginning to diversify their plantings, offering new varieties and processing methods to better vertically integrate into the market.  This is the gradual trajectory of reinvesting in farm infrastructure. It doesn't happen overnight, but rather is the fruit of considered planning, informed decisions and, of course, some trial and error in the changing climate.  This is our 6th year offering Fredeslinda Calle's excellent coffee, though first time offering the prized variety SL-9 - often called "Inca Geisha" but not by us. Floral, citric acidity, kiwi and hibiscus. A tiny lot that will go quickly.

This Peru offering from Bows & Arrows Coffee showcases the SL-9 varietal grown by Fredeslinda Calle in San Ignacio's Alto Ihuamaca region. The roaster identifies kiwi, black tea, and hibiscus in the cup—a bright, tea-forward profile that suggests the coffee leans toward delicate complexity rather than heavy body. SL-9 coffees tend to express crisp acidity and floral or fruity characteristics, which aligns with these tasting descriptors. This wholesale lot represents a direct relationship with the producer, offering consistency for café programs seeking distinctive single-origin expression.
