A rare and emerging varietal delivering an exceptional sensory experience, with the kind of candy-sweet peach character, citrus brightness, and jasmine florality that have made high-altitude Peruvian SL9 so exciting.

SL9 — known locally as \"Inca Gesha\" — has become one of the most captivating discoveries in Peruvian specialty coffee. Genetic testing has found it closely resembles SL09, a rare cultivar belonging to the Ethiopian Legacy group, originally identified through single-tree selections made by the Scott Agricultural Laboratories in the 1930s. At 2,100 MASL in Peru's Andean highlands, its aromatic intensity and exceptional cup clarity find their fullest expression — and Javier Salas's El Renacer is a compelling demonstration of exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — SL9 cherries selectively harvested at peak ripeness 🔧 Depulping — Outer skin removed before fermentation 🧪 Fermentation — Beans fermented to break down remaining mucilage 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed after fermentation to remove all residue ☀️ Drying — Dried to optimal moisture content on raised beds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meticulous washed processing is the defining step — by stripping back all fruit influence, the process allows the SL9's intrinsic peach sweetness, lemon brightness, and jasmine florality to express themselves with the exceptional clarity and precision that extreme altitude in Peru consistently delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA candy-sweet, citrus-bright, and beautifully floral washed SL9 from one of Peru's most compelling high-altitude growing environments — peach Haribo sweetness, lemon brightness, and a delicate jasmine florality in a cup of exceptional clarity.
