Description
Origin: San Ignacio
Lot #: 9105
Arrival Date: 02/18/18
Processing Method: Washed
A nice microlot from a single estate in Peru, which is vary rare. Most Peru coffees are co-op driven and contain hundreds if not thousands of farmers controlled by a “union”-like agreement and most commonly centralized processing of all their beans.
The co-op model is not a bad model, they tend to educate on how to grow good beans, control the processing of the coffees which gives it a more standard cup profile and insures a quality cup. The only real downside is the flow of funds, if a single farmer can sell his beans to a consumer and not sell just the cherries to the co-op, they can get a bunch more money for their hard work. Only trick is the farmer must really know what they are doing.
This is a very high grown coffee, 1700 meters+ and contains Cattura and Bourbon strains.
Tasting Notes:
A great balanced and clean cup of Peru coffee. Soft and sweeter soft fruit tones upfront with a slight lemon floral note. Very chocolaty in its undertone, goes from smooth chocolate to pretty edgy bakers chocolate into the darker roasts. Medium bodied, a great coffee to sip on all day.
Roasting Notes:
Avoid extremes with the roast. Light and dark tend to be either too bright or too bitter. Anywhere in between is lovely, smooth with defined tastes. I like to shoot close to 2nd crack but not touching it with this guy, handles a couple shades lighter as well.
