Peru Oscar Abad Geisha

Finca La Palma is a one-hectare farm owned by Oscar Abad in San Ignacio, Cajamarca, one of northern Peru’s most celebrated coffee regions. On this small but vibrant plot, Oscar cultivates around 5,000 Geisha trees, a variety prized for its delicate florals and complex sweetness.

Each harvest is handled with meticulous care. The coffee is washed within a day of picking, fermented for up to 48 hours, and dried slowly on raised beds for 30–40 days. Oscar has invested in fermentation tanks and covered drying modules, allowing for more control over quality and consistency.

Cajamarca’s semi-dry, high-elevation climate (around 1,700 MASL) provides ideal conditions for specialty coffee. Many smallholder producers here, including Oscar, manage just a few hectares and rely on organic practices passed down through generations.

This microlot is part of a growing movement in Peru toward farm-level traceability and quality-driven production. Though the country’s coffee landscape remains fragmented, producers like Oscar are elevating Peruvian coffee through careful experimentation, infrastructure investment, and pride in craft.

Honduras Roger Dominguez

Roger Antonio Domínguez Márquez, a young and innovative producer, cultivates exceptional coffee on several midsize farms he inherited from his father in La Paz, Marcala. These farms, nestled at elevations above 1,300 meters, offer ideal conditions for growing heirloom varieties like Bourbon, Catuai, and Caturra. Roger’s meticulous approach to wet-milling and drying ensures every batch reflects his dedication to quality.

Ecuador Galo Morales

In recent years, the farm has gained recognition, winning Pichincha’s regional quality competition and securing third place in Ecuador’s national “Taza Dorada” competition. Coffee has been in Galo’s family for over 80 years, and today, he and his four brothers carry on the tradition, with every family member playing a role in the coffee’s success.
