ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
Maribel Herrera Torres is a coffee producer from San Antonio, Huabal. She owns two hectares of land and grows Gesha, Caturra and Catuai. She and her family pick the ripe cherries, wash them thoroughly, and dry them on lined patios for 25 days. Huabal, in the Jaén province of Cajamarca, is one of the strongest areas for quality. The district has huge potential for coffee, but poor infrastructure means many producers lack the resources and knowledge to fully realize it. Huabal is composed of multiple villages, each a center of coffee production. The district spans several mountains, resulting in varied climates and soils—from wet, humid areas with red, clay-like soils to dry, hot zones. This diversity contributes to complex and distinctive cup profiles.
This natural complexity combined with Maribel’s passion and care for coffee allow this washed lot of Caturra and Gesha to shine—a true expression of Peru’s terroir.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
We are excited to share another small lot harvest from Peru, this time from a new producer to us. Maribel Herrera Torres has done phenomenal work cultivating exceptional quality cherries and executing a remarkably clean process that allows her terroir to speak with clarity and precision.
This lot is a compelling blend of Caturra and Gesha that comes together beautifully as a light roast. The aromatics are immediately expressive, with prominent floral and citrus notes reminiscent of jasmine blossoms and tart kumquat. The fragrance alone sets the tone for a layered cup.
As it opens up, those bright notes give way to softer and more complex tones. There is a creamy, gentle persimmon character that subtly builds body and adds a rounded texture to the cup. In the background, a sweet and clean mango note weaves in and out.
Altogether, this is an excellent showcase of Peru’s terroir and the careful work behind it. It is a coffee that feels both refined and expressive, and one I genuinely look forward to brewing each day
