Peruvian (FT/O)

$13.95

This Fair-Trade and Organic offering is very balanced with a rich deep aroma and clean aftertaste. It has a medium body, with an above average acidity, and a distinct floral notation in the aroma. This does well at a roast of Full City+ (medium-dark) I got notes of chocolate, creme brulee, and a rich nuttiness I couldn't quite put my finger on.

The traditional native farmers (descendants of the ancient Inca Indian tribes) grow this coffee in the foothills of the Andes mountains in Northern Peru. The climate is perfect for the cultivars they produce, especially the heirloom varietals. Due to the misty weather during the drying season, they have constructed custom, raised drying shacks which controls and actually improves the consistency of the drying. With superb growing conditions and meticulous harvesting, processing, sorting, and grading, this project produces one of the best hard bean organics Peru has to offer.
