Peru Rayos de Sol Gesha | Superbrew

Coffee Story Percy Huaman Pintado comes from a long line of coffee producers and is the proud owner of the Rayos del Sol farm, a beautiful 5-hectare estate nestled in the breathtaking Alto Ihuamaca region of San Ignacio. Working closely with neighbouring family members who are passionate about coffee cultivation, Percy and his relatives share invaluable farming techniques and knowledge to help each other succeed. When it comes to his prized Gesha plants, Percy is meticulous in his approach, carefully selecting only the ripest cherries and overseeing a deliberate and unhurried drying process. This unwavering commitment to excellence resulted in Percy's Gesha coffee being chosen for this year's prestigious Cup of Excellence auction. In a touching tribute to the enduring light that guides him through even the most challenging times, Percy decided to christen his farm 'Rayos del Sol,' symbolizing the glimmer of hope he always sees on the horizon.

This Peru Rayos de Sol showcases the Geisha varietal, a variety prized for its distinctive floral and tea-like clarity. Grown in the Alto Ihuamaca region of San Ignacio by producer Percy Huaman Pintado, the coffee was roasted by Detour Coffee Roasters. Geisha coffees tend to express delicate, complex aromatics and refined sweetness—characteristics that emerge distinctly in high-altitude Peruvian growing conditions. Natural-processed coffees often display fuller body and heavier fruit notes compared to washed processing, which may influence how this lot develops across the cup.
