La Lima

La Lima is a washed Caturra from Jorge Zamora in Cajamarca, Peru, offering a softer expression built around cocoa, black tea and gentle dried fruit. This cup is smooth, naturally composed, with nougaty hazelnut sweetness carrying through to the finish.

That balance begins at the farm, La Lima, which sits near the elevated hamlet of El Horcón. Higher elevation means cooler conditions in a climate which slows cherry maturation, helping build up the sugars and aromatic compounds that give this bean dimension as well as sweetness. 

Jorge and his wife have developed their farm steadily since its purchase in 2017, with their early harvests already earning Cup of Excellence placements in both 2024 and 2025. 

Careful cherry selection, fermentation and washed processing helps foreground that classic Catura sweetness while keeping the cup’s structure clear. The result: a profile that’s clean, textured and easy to return to.
