The story of Finca Miraflores is a great illustration of this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2011 and 2013, the Latin American coffee leaf rust epidemic ravaged farms across Peru, affecting roughly 40% of the country’s coffee-growing area. National production declined by around 24%, and Miraflores was hit particularly hard, losing many of its productive coffee plants. At the time, the farm was planted almost entirely with Typica, a variety especially vulnerable to the disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese difficulties set the stage for a new chapter in the farm’s development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome damaged trees were cut back to 60 centimetres and carefully regenerated, while new varieties were introduced across selected areas of the farm. Many producers might have turned to a disease-resistant variety such as Catimor, the team at Miraflores chose a different path. They diversified by planting exotic varieties such as Gesha, Bourbon, Java and SL-28. Growing these varieties presents its own challenges, but the decision opened up new economic opportunities within the specialty coffee market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiraflores’ Gesha trees produced their first cherries in 2021. We are pleased to feature one of those newer lots: a naturally processed Gesha with exceptional clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Colonna Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"Espresso \/ 150g","offer_id":43923709198398,"sku":"WSWB0150EGESSO1031","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 1kg","offer_id":43923709231166,"sku":"WSWB1000EGESSO1031","price":76.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter \/ 150g","offer_id":43923709263934,"sku":"WSWB0150FGESSO1031","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter \/ 1kg","offer_id":43923709296702,"sku":"WSWB1000FGESSO1031","price":76.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1214\/2692\/files\/MirafloresNaturalGeshaPremade_PG-1031.png?v=1789391677","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.colonnacoffee.com\/products\/miraflores-natural-gesha","provider":"Colonna Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
