Piñada is a washed Gesha from Jose Santos Rivera's three-hectare farm Finca Vira Vira, set high in the Chirinos district of northern Peru. The lot is named for the traditional drink of Chirinos, a local specialty that surprises every visitor with its distinctive flavor. Cooked lemon, dried jasmine, and plum lead the cup, balanced by a tangy citric acidity and fruit-like sweetness. Best as a pour over, where the florals and stone fruit can show their full range.

Sourcing with Integrity

This coffee comes from Finca Vira Vira, a three-hectare farm owned and worked by Jose Santos Rivera in the Chirinos district of Cajamarca. Jose is a prominent local producer and community leader known for his passion for sports and the social gatherings that bring his neighbors together. Alongside Gesha, his farm grows Bourbon, Caturra, Pache, and Typica varieties, intermixed with potatoes, yuca, and granadilla, the kind of biodiversity that long-term sustainability depends on.

For this lot, ripe cherries are fermented in cherry for 45 hours before being washed and shade-dried for 12 days. The result is a clean, expressive washed Gesha that reflects both the variety and the unusually fertile, temperate growing conditions Chirinos is known for.

Cajamarca sits in Peru's northeastern highlands and accounts for roughly a quarter of the country's coffee production. Most farms in the region are small, family-run, and organically farmed by default. We source this lot through Lima Coffees, our longtime sourcing partner in Jaen, who has worked alongside producers like Jose since 2017 to bring the most distinctive Peruvian microlots to light.
