Tasting Notes: This cup is nice and clean, a little fuller bodied and smooth with a sweeter edge. A great year for Peru coffees; the cup starts just a little citric, fairly low acidity only detectable at the lighter roast points, a little hint of soft fruit but mainly a pretty chocolaty cup profile with some nutty accents. Lighter roasts one can find a hint of caramel if you get lucky, and leans on the nuttier side, little citric will poke out. A nice medium roast will make anyone happy and provide good balance and smooth chocolate tones, low acidity – a good daily drinker. Darker roasts work good but burn out a bit of the sweetness, the chocolaty factor sure compliments the toastier smoky tones of the dark roasts.
Roasting Notes: An easy bean to roast. If you like a little acidity and a more exotic cup profile, stick with the lighter roasts, just a little development past first crack. For most, getting a little closer to 2nd crack than first (medium) builds the body and chocolaty factor while producing a lower acidity cup. Darker roasts work for dark roast fans, but otherwise should be avoided.

Glad I ordered 5 lbs vs small sampler. Never had Peruvian before but wanted to try something new to round out my 1st shipment from BCT. Between the price point and the description i was intrigued. Don’t let the generous offer dissuade if you like a write up because this is top grade coffee. As promised, easy roasting to my planned medium in Fresh Roast SR800–16.4% less weight for an even roast. Most days pull shots for Americanos with Flair Pro3 manual espresso, but straight shots don’t disappoint. Americanos allow for more sipping time so that’s the daily treat. The dark chocolate flavor is there but the Peruvian touch jazzes the cup with some friendly dried fruit gracing the chocolate. All interesting enough to spice up the routine but clean and smooth enough to drink every day. It’s a winner.
