La Lucuma is a family-run coffee farm in the northern highlands of Cajamarca, Peru, cultivated by the Huaches Zurita family since 1984. Starting with just 2 hectares, by 2005 the farm had expanded to 6.5 hectares, with coffee grown at around 1900 meters above sea level. From the beginning, the family focused on producing high-quality coffee, planting traditional varieties such as Caturra, Typica, and Pache, while adopting environmentally friendly practices like contour planting and organic fertilization.

Like many producers in Peru, La Lucuma faced major challenges when coffee leaf rust struck in 2012, forcing the introduction of Catimor, which unfortunately reduced cup quality. Determined to restore excellence, the family planted Geisha in 2017, opening a new chapter for the farm. Though adapting to this variety required patience and new techniques, the first harvest in 2020 revealed remarkable potential. Since then, La Lucuma has won third place at the Cajamarca regional competition in 2021 and second place in 2022 with scores above 91, affirming its position as one of Peru’s most promising specialty coffee producers.

Today, the farm continues to pursue innovation while upholding decades-long commitments to quality, sustainability, and the unique terroir of the Peruvian Andes.

Geisha T2722 is the original and purest genetic lineage of the legendary Geisha coffee variety, officially registered under the accession code T2722 at the CATIE Research Center since 1953. This exceptionally delicate variety features tall trees with brittle branches, yields very low production, and strictly requires meticulous manual cultivation at altitudes above 1,600 meters. The chilly high-altitude climate slows down the ripening process, allowing the cherries to accumulate an extraordinary sugar content that shapes an incredibly elegant, tea-like flavor profile.

Each lot is personally cupped by him and processed in close collaboration with local farms to refine the processing methods.
