The Origin

The Pangoa Gesha coffee from Taylors Discovery originates from the Junin region of Peru.

This fresh crop comes from Celia Aysana Ramos who is a member of Pangoa co-op.

Expect delicate florals but balanced and sweet notes of berries, which are all hallmark notes of classic washed gesha!

Pangoa, which is in Satipo, Junin, Peru, was founded in 1977 and has 698 members.

The dry mill is in San Martin de Pangoa and on average produces 34 containers of coffee each year.

One of Taylor’s coffee buyers Frank Tanner recently re-visited Pangoa, as well as 3 farms owned by small-holders who are part of the cooperative.

From Frank's trip report: Gender equality was a key theme, and arguably a long-term benefit of the gender program that Taylors implemented in 2016.

2/3 of the farm visits were hosted by female producers. Use of organic inputs, variety renovation and reforestation were also common.

Pangoa have a 5-year Agroforestry plan in which they will reforest 45ha of land on member’s smallholdings with hardwood and native species.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
