"Upon grinding, fresh notes of lemon zest, orange peel, honey, and florals emerge. The palate features lemon custard, orange peel, and pomelo, layered with honey and Earl Grey tea. Orange blossom lingers softly, creating a clean and refined finish."

Las Flores Perdido is offered as a Trader Special Lot under the name “Perdido Por Las Flores,” with the producer and precise micro-origin intentionally left undisclosed. In this format, the lot name functions as a poetic identifier rather than a literal farm reference, chosen to capture a particular style and cup direction.

This Geisha comes from the Andes mountain environment in Peru, grown at very high elevations between 1,900 and 2,400 metres. At these heights, cooler temperatures and pronounced day–night swings slow cherry maturation, helping build dense seeds and preserve aromatic detail. Mountain conditions also bring rapid weather shifts, which places extra emphasis on controlled post-harvest handling.

Geisha is the centrepiece variety, valued for its floral top notes, elegant citrus expression, and tea-like structure. It tends to perform best when ripeness selection is strict, because the variety can exaggerate any underripe or uneven sorting. At high altitude, Geisha’s aromatics often present as bergamot and delicate blossom, supported by a refined sweetness rather than heavier fruit.

The coffee is produced using the washed process, beginning with careful harvesting at peak ripeness and sorting before depulping. Fermentation is used primarily to remove mucilage cleanly, followed by thorough washing to leave a clean parchment surface and reduce any muddiness in flavour. Drying is managed to protect volatile aromatics and lock in stability, an important step at high elevation where humidity and temperature can fluctuate. After reaching stable moisture, the coffee is typically rested before dry milling to let the seed settle and cup more evenly. This workflow is aimed at preserving definition, fragrance, and a crisp, structured finish.
