Nestled at the foot of the majestic Apu Choqesafra mountain in the Inkawasi region, the Alpine Estate boasts exceptional volcanic soil rich in natural minerals and organic matter, where Jaime Huayllas cultivates his coffee. From the estate, one can enjoy breathtaking views of the snow-capped Choqesafra mountain and the surrounding mountain ranges. Furthermore, the estate is home to lush native trees and a variety of wild birds. Located at a high altitude rarely seen in other coffee-growing areas, the estate's unique terroir imparts a distinctive quality and flavor to its coffee. The harvest season typically begins in September and lasts until January of the following year. The dense vegetation provides natural shade for the coffee trees, and the fallen leaves naturally transform into fertile organic nutrients. SL09 is not actually native to Peru; its name originates from the Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya in the 1930s. According to genetic analysis by the World Coffee Research Organization (WCR), SL09 shows traces of Bourbon lineage. Unlike the well-known SL28 or SL34, SL09 is almost entirely absent from the global gene pool, thus limiting its widespread adoption. In recent years, it has gained significant attention due to its outstanding performance in the Peruvian Cup of Excellence (COE). Initially, due to its striking resemblance in tree shape and flavor to Panama Geisha, local Peruvian farmers long referred to it as "Inca Geisha (Gesha Inca)." Only through genetic testing has it been confirmed that it is neither Geisha nor Bourbon, but rather a close relative of SL09, and currently, there is no matching unique variety. This washed SL09 cup offers refreshing aromas of fragrant lemon and orange blossom, sweet and sour cherry, and a distinctive finish reminiscent of English breakfast tea.
