From the moment Andres Torres stepped onto the scene at Sumo, we knew it was a no-brainer to include his Geisha in our lineup after that first taste.
Nestled in the lush landscapes of North Peru, near the Ecuadorian border, lies the Santa Teresa Farm. Acquired by the visionary Andres Torres in 2010, this haven was initially a remote paradise, devoid of roads or electricity. But with unwavering determination, Andres and his children transformed adversity into opportunity. They paved the way to their oasis, bringing water and light to their corner of the world. This sprawling estate spans approximately 11.5 hectares, nestled gracefully at an average altitude of 1900 meters above sea level.
Andres, a true maestro in the art of Geisha cultivation, inherited his passion from his parents and grandparents. With each passing year, he pushed the boundaries, experimenting with fermentation methods to elevate his family's legacy. And it paid off – securing a remarkable fifth place at the prestigious Cup of Excellence in 2021.
Whether you prefer your brew from an espresso machine or a filter brewer, this Geisha promises a journey of flavor like no other.
