A FAMILY LEGACY
In 1976, José Alarcón and Zobeida Coronel embarked on a journey with their four children to San José el Alto, dreaming of a future steeped in coffee.
Today, their legacy blooms at Finca La Palestina, in the mountainous Cajamarca region of Northern Peru, in a remote area of Jaén known as San José del Alto.
Finca La Palestina is a beacon of coffee cultivation where three generations of the Alarcón Coronel family nurture the land and share a deep bond with coffee.
The farm's diverse cultivation includes the rare Geisha variety, distinguishing it in a region where the more common Typica and Caturra varieties dominate, showcasing its commitment to quality and disease resistance.
La Palestina's Geisha, renowned for its complex flavor profile, is handpicked from the fertile soils of a farm that commands breathtaking views and embodies a spirit of innovation and tradition.
SENSORY
Since we started sourcing this coffee in 2022, we have tasted the delicate fruity sweetness with floral undertones evolving year to year - this year is no exception. |
