This Gesha Bourbon from Campo Verde in Inkawasi, Cusco, Peru. It won 2nd place in the 2024 Peru Cup of Excellence, with a score of 90.21.
The #2 COE-winning lot is grown at an impressive 2405 meters above sea level in the cool, remote highlands of Cusco. Wilfredo was the first to establish a coffee farm in this area once thought too cold and too far from the main road for agriculture. His pioneering spirit transformed the landscape—today, several farms thrive where once only grasslands stood. Campo Verde, meaning calmness, happiness, and prosperity, is shaded by diverse tree species and nurtures Bourbon, Caturra, and Typica varieties. Cherries are selectively hand-picked, fermented for 36 hours, and slow-dried on raised beds for 15–20 days, resulting in a cup that reflects both altitude and ambition.
We have just 30 kilograms of this coffee. The coffee was harvested in 2024 and arrived at Bean & Bean’s roastery in March 2025. A 2-3 week wait to receive the coffee after ordering should be expected.
