This year marks our first collaboration with José Rivera, and we’re proud to have secured the entire 120 kg production of this exceptional lot. José, the driving force behind Origin Coffee Lab and a long-time partner responsible for standout coffees such as La Higuera and La Pomarrosa, cultivates this coffee at El Rejo farm alongside his wife, Mariagracia Echeandía. Nestled in San José del Alto, Jaén, at 1,750–1,800 masl, the one-hectare farm is planted primarily with Bourbon, shaded by banana trees. Selected by Fede and Mikołaj during their 2025 journey through Peru, this coffee stood out as one of the most surprising and distinctive cups of the trip. In the cup, expect a bright and crisp expression with layered acidity, vibrant notes of red currants and guava, a honey-like sweetness, and a delicate pink floral finish.
