This is the kind of clean and structured washed coffee that not long ago was a miracle, but is perhaps being taken for granted in todays ultra-processed, ultra-aromatic specialty market.

From our years of tasting experience it has what we consider the best of archetypical parchment dried Peruvian flavors. Great sweetness, great structure with some berry, floral and herbal notes.

Elegant.

Until 2020, the Guerreros sold their coffee to local buyers at market prices. But after learning about the potential of the specialty coffee market and the premiums it offers, they began to explore new varieties and invest in infrastructure. The family has replanted varieties like Marshell and Geisha, using a 70cm to 3-meter planting distance, and introduced irrigation to combat the recent dry seasons around Jaén.As part of Falcon’s Specialty Plus program, the Guerreros have been working closely with an agronomist, experimenting with different processing methods.Through the program, the Guerreros have also seen improvements in their traditional washed coffees. With access to tools like refractometers, thermometers, and barrels provided by the Specialty Plus program, they’ve managed to improve their scores by 2.5 points, opening new opportunities in the specialty coffee market.
