Description
A fresh and tasty, direct trade and fully traceable Peru! Partnering with our friends behind Mexico’s Terruno Nayarita co-op (FincaLab), whose growing and traceability system are second to none. This offering is a unique one, a long fermentation natural processed. Meaning this was slow dried in the coffee fruit, imparting both fruitiness and stronger fermentation tones. Picks up tastes along the lines of super-ripe strawberry, berry liqueur, caramel, dark chocolate, boozy, syrupy.

Tasting Notes: Natural processed fans only on this one. It is a very highly rated cup but filled with fruity and ferment tones, pretty wild in its tastes. Best served in the light to medium roast levels. Medium to low acidity, thicker body and more syrupy mouthfeel. Just a small pinch of citric upfront quickly turns into very ripe red fruit notes, very sweet and complex first sip, pulls some balance with a boozy chocolate note that will linger on the tongue. The boozy quality is pretty faint at the lighter roasts but is accentuated as you head into the medium or dark roasts. Medium and beyond I would link it to a barrel aged tone. This is a full flavored cup with a plethora of flavor hints that poke out depending on roast level and setup time.
Roasting Notes: High chaff and slightly uneven roasting. If your a natural processed fan though, this is one not to miss, the body and mouthfeel to this cup is not often found with fruity naturals. A reduction in batch size is wise with the chaff levels, would recommend starting with a light-medium roast level and adjust based on personal taste preference. We did not find this cup overly acidic or floral, generally fitting a quick roast profile.
