Origin Story

 Finca La Babilla is a 2-hectare farm owned by
Lino and his family, located in the Caserío
San Francisco de Asís, Huabal district, Jaén
province, in the Cajamarca region of northern
Peru. Lino has been a coffee producer since
he was young, inheriting the tradition from his
parents. The farm is primarily planted with
Geisha and some Caturra, varieties chosen
based on family and local experiences, known
for their high productivity, good physical and
organoleptic qualities, and resistance to
oxidation. In recent years, Lino has focused
on improving the quality of his coffee by
experimenting with fermentation processes,
paying careful attention to fermentation times,
fermentation tanks, and drying infrastructure.
This approach is part of his ongoing efforts to
enhance the coffee's overall quality.

The Process

The Washed process involves fully
removing the fruit's skin and mucilage using
pulping machines or water within 24 hours of
harvesting. De-pulped coffees undergo
fermentation in tanks, sometimes with added
bacteria and yeast, while demucilaged coffees
are dried on raised beds or patios.
Fermentation durations range from 12 to 72
hours to achieve desired flavour profiles,
followed by mechanical drying for 18 to 36
hours or natural drying on raised beds or patios
for 7 to 15 days, depending on the farm's scale
and available machinery. Washed coffees are
known for their clean, crisp, sweet, and fruity
cup profiles, with extended fermentation
resulting in heightened fruity and boozy
characteristics.
