Peru Tabaco Pampa SL-9 / INCA Geisha Washed

Peru Tabaco Pampa – SL-9 / INCA Gesha Washed

Good for you if: you love floral, elegant filter coffees and want to explore a high-Andes variety with a story, with jasmine up front and a sweet, gently spiced depth underneath.

Grown at Tabaco Pampa in the Inkawasi Valley of Cusco, Peru at 1,800–2,000 masl, this SL-9 lot, known locally as "INCA Gesha", is washed for clarity. In the cup, it opens with jasmine and candied lime, moves into gentle spice and molasses sweetness, and finishes with a velvety texture.

SL-9 is genetically closer to Kenya's SL-09 selection than to true Gesha, and the washed process lets its floral aromatics and clean structure come through.
