Peru El Progreso Org – Finca La Guava – Catura Washed Processed

Description

This Fully Washed coffee was sourced from the growing region of El Progreso in Peru and was produced by Finca La Guava at 1800 meters above sea level.

Put together by our buddies at Wonderstate Coffee (formally Kickapoo). When we tasted it we couldn’t help but to grab a couple bags while waiting for our new crop arrivals to get here (should be by mid-Sept).

Very high altitude coffee, coming from 1800 meters.  A cup bound to impress any Peru fan. A bit on the fruitier side for a washed coffee but very clean and rich.

Tasting Notes: A very tasty cup; a bit unique for a Peru. It has a nice soft red fruit tone upfront with just a little hint of acidity balanced with a nice and chocolaty undertone, just a little hint of citric acidity. Very clean cup, medium to low acidity along with a gentle medium body and good sweetness. A cup we could drink all day long.

Roasting Notes: A very stand up lot good at almost every roast. Being on the snazzy side, lighter roasting is preferred for it will keep those nice sweet fruity tones intact in the cup along with a hint of crisp acidity, darker roasts will mute it up but are still very tasty.
