Experience a rare, vibrant cup from a true specialty coffee veteran. Cultivated by Isaac Flores—a producer with over 40 years of dedication to specialty coffee—this exceptional lot introduces the exciting SL9 varietal to the market.
Affectionately known as the "Inca Geisha" due to its striking resemblance to Geisha in both appearance and cup profile, recent genetic research has unveiled this varietal's true heritage. Unlike SL28 (which is a Bourbon mutation), SL9 traces its roots directly back to the prestigious Ethiopia Legacy group.
These incredibly hard and dense beans yield a cup that perfectly marries tropical vibrancy with delicate elegance, creating a totally unique and unforgettable coffee experience.
Why it stands out: It is rare to find a coffee that balances such heavy tropical fruit notes with delicate, Geisha-like florality. The SL9 is a beautiful discovery for those looking to explore the cutting edge of coffee genetics and flavor.
