Bill Klinton

Peruvian Geisha! How good high altitude, forest-grown mountain coffee can be. This Geisha is grown by Bill Klinton at his farm El Romerillo, named after the romerillo trees that shade the coffee plantation. It is processed with our favourite 'hybrid washed' method, which involves an anaerobic fermentation, pulping, a secondary fermentation in mucilage before washing and drying. The result is an expressive coffee with intense floral notes and plenty of fresh fruit. Expect notes of magnolia, peach, and tangerine. Top shelf!

Grown by Bill Klinton at El Romerillo, a small 3-hectare farm in San José del Alto, Jaén, Cajamarca, in the mountains of northern Peru. The farm sits above 1,750 metres and is planted with Geisha and Caturra. It is named after the Romerillo trees that shade the coffee plantation. This Geisha lot is processed using a hybrid washed method involving 48 hours of fermentation in bags, pulping, a further two days of fermentation in mucilage, washing and around 15 days of drying.

Bill Klinton grows coffee at El Romerillo, his small farm in San José del Alto. Rather than chasing high yields, he has chosen to farm in a more diverse way, keeping the native forest canopy in place. The romerillo trees that give the farm its name create a natural microclimate, sheltering his Geisha from the harsh conditions at altitude.

Alongside the shade trees, Bill grows a mix of native plants, fruit and food crops between his coffee, which supports biodiversity across the farm. His hands-on work in the field and his careful, multi-stage hybrid fermentation reflect a focus on quality over quantity, and it shows in the cup.
