Datura - Finca Bella Vista Eudis Orosco SL9 Washed

SL9 is one of the most intriguing varieties currently emerging from the Peruvian Andes, cultivated for years under the name Inca Gesha due to its intensely floral profile, remarkable clarity, and elegant structure in the cup.Genetic analysis revealed no meaningful relation to Gesha. Instead, the research showed a strong connection to an extremely rare Kenyan selection known as SL-09, originally developed by the Scott Agricultural Laboratories during the 1930s — a variety that largely disappeared from modern cultivation. Its strongest explanation points to seeds descended from older Kenyan selections being introduced into Peru decades ago, cultivated locally in the Andes for generations under the name Inca Gesha.Fully ripened cherries are picked, floated, pre-fermented in GrainPro bags under cool conditions for 48 hours, then depulped and dry fermented in clean tanks for 24 to 36 hours.After fermentation the coffee is fully washed and slow dried on raised beds for 10 to 12 days at approximately 2200 meters above sea level, reaching a stable moisture of 10 to 11.5 percent.
