- Info.
Vanessa Neyra's coffee farm in Peru grows more than high-quality arabica coffee, it's also home to native timber species like cedar, walnut, and laurel trees as part of her reforestation initiative. In a secondary forest on her farm, Vanessa also maintains beekeeping practices to give local flora all the support it can get.
She has her sights set on sustainable profitability, and plans to achieve this through participation in work that ensures stable and regenerative coffee production. Currently she grows Bourbon and Gesha varieties, both processed as classic washed lots.
"This is the first season we're buying Vanessa's Gesha. It's a sweet and structured expression of the varietal, which is becoming more common in Peru. We find a soft acidity, floral notes and a silky, coating texture."
- Jingyun Hu, Head Barista Covent Garden
