Serene Querimarca highlands.

La Lucuma, a washed microlot cultivated by the talented Ismeria Leon at her farm in Queromarca, Peru.

Nestled at 2,250 meters above sea level, the farm enjoys abundant sunlight and cool temperatures, making it perfect for cultivating exceptional coffee.

This lot from Ismeria in Peru impressed us for its blackcurrant notes & big juicy acidity.

The Producer

Ismeria, alongside her sister Merly, run operations at the farm, continually seeking to enhance both quality and productivity.

Queromarca was one of the first areas in the district to produce coffee. The wider Cullayuc region boasts tropical jungles, abundant biodiversity, and fertile valleys.

This microlot, crafted by Ismeria Leon in the serene highlands, underwent a unique process. It experienced an extended 48-hour anaerobic fermentation before being washed.

  • Washed

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
