Some coffees announce themselves. This one doesn't have to.
This lot is sourced from Cooperativa Cafetalera Laguna de los Condores in Luya, in Peru's Amazonas region — one of the higher-growing coffee areas in South America, sitting between 1800 and 2300 meters. Up there, slower maturation produces more complex sugars, and the washed processing lets the clean, delicate character of the bean come through without interference.
The result is a light roast that's floral and gentle — rose and white tea on the nose, a light sweetness in the body, and a clean finish that doesn't linger too long. It's a coffee for people who like something refined and quiet. Not every cup needs to be a statement.
A cooperative of smallholder farmers in a region that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Worth your attention.
BREWING NOTE
This coffee is at its best in a pour-over or V60. The high elevation and washed process reward precision brewing — use water around 200°F and a medium-fine grind to draw out the floral notes without going flat.
