This is La Rinconada, the 2025 Cup of Excellence Peru #20 winner. COE coffees are special, and this is our final such offering of the 2025 competition season. We love this coffee's apricot, orange, vanilla florals, and it's also reminiscent of earl grey, with a round creaminess, and ripe mango. We're also bundling this coffee in our Peru COE Box Set which pairs La Rinconada with our #21 winner, La Lima.
Farmer Roberto Carlos Palomino Flores began growing coffee just in 2018, inspired by his parents. Now Roberto considers coffee an integral part of his life. Two years after establishing his brand-new plantation composed exclusively of geisha, the plants started producing. For this crop, Roberto started by collecting just the ripest cherries he could find. After 24 hours of rest in cherry, he pulped them and stored them in GrainPro bags for a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation. Following that he washed them thoroughly and dried the coffee for 14-16 days. Process: anaerobic washed
Region: Cusco, Peru
Variety: Geisha
Why COE?
The globally recognized Cup of Excellence competition and auction is an opportunity for farmers to show their best work and to get their coffee in front of serious green coffee buyers all over the world. There are hundreds of submissions each year in each participating country. Earning a spot in the top 30, after rigorous tasting by domestic and international jury panels, is a huge achievement. The high prices earned through the auction process give the farmers the resources they need to invest in their operation and quality of life, while we receive some of the world's most beautiful coffees. We hope you enjoy these coffee as much as we do.
