Degassing: We recommend degassing this coffee for at least 35 days, up to 70. Our coffees often peak around 45 days and 60 days post-roast and are best enjoyed from then until the 90 day mark. Our omniroast style leads to abnormally long degassing times, but just trust us, once your coffee is degassed properly, you're in for a treat.

SL9 The Forefront of Peruvian Specialty We are incredibly proud to introduce another extraordinary SL9 lot to our lineup. Representing the forefront of Peruvian specialty coffee, SL9 is a rare and emerging varietal that delivers an exceptional sensory experience. Long considered a natural Geisha mutation and previously celebrated under the moniker "Inca Geisha," this varietal showcases a vibrant acidity and a profoundly complex flavor profile.
Exceptionally Bold Flavors We are fortunate to offer two distinct expressions of the SL9 varietal this season. While our Isaac Flores lot beautifully highlights a more tropical-forward profile, this new SL9 lot takes a distinctly different path. It leans intensely into its Geisha-like genetics, offering a remarkably bold and fruit-forward structure.
Unprecedented Clarity What makes this lot truly unprecedented is its flavor clarity. Finding such intensely vibrant, Haribo peach-like sweetness in a fully washed process is exceptionally rare, making this a standout cup that completely defies expectations.
The Cup Profile Expect an intensely sweet and highly floral cup. A bold, mouthwatering sweetness reminiscent of Haribo peach gummies takes center stage—a profound rarity for a washed coffee. This is beautifully balanced by elegant, lingering white jasmine blossoms and finishes with a bright, syrupy citrus note akin to a lemon drop, highly reminiscent of the sought-after Ethiopian 74158 varietal.
