José Prudencio Vargas - El Mirante - Geisha Washed - Legends

Sourcing note

José Prudencio Vargas is a misnomer—he’s so reckless, even suicidal, on the mountain roads of the Cuzco region! It is surely this recklessness that led this buyer and exporter from the region’s finest farms to become a producer—much to our delight. These high-altitude Geishas, grown in the heart of the “Manu Biosphere Reserve,” yield one of the finest cups we’ve selected this year in South America. A true standard-bearer for the Geisha variety in Peru. The cup reveals a sweetness reminiscent of roasted apricot and ripe nectarine, supported by perfectly integrated acidity and a silky body.
