La Cabra
Why this was picked
A washed Geisha from Juan Peña's Yacuri farm in Peru — perfumed florals and stone fruit notes that match Fouzi's flavor vocabulary precisely. La Cabra is a well-trusted roaster in his rotation, and producer-level traceability to a named farm earns full marks in that dimension.

Olympia Coffee Roasters
Why this was picked
Colombian single-origin from Huila with direct-trade, region-level traceability and stone fruit and tangerine notes that match Fouzi's flavor profile. Olympia is a well-trusted roaster in his rotation, and this washed lot is the strongest Colombian single-origin fit in their current catalog.
