Southbound Coffee - San Ignacio - Peru Roast Level: Medium Origin: Peru Tasting Notes: Roasted peanuts, Blood Orange and Caramel More Info Using a coffee from Peru is a bit unusual for us. We tend to look more for Guatemalan coffees when it comes to nutty, earthy notes but this one blew our minds. A well balanced coffee with light acidity and plenty of sweetness. A long caramel aftertaste too! So here we are. Loving our Peruvian coffee to bits and sharing it with you. Surprisingly shines in an Aeropress. Makes for great balanced espressos and sweet plungers. Traceability This coffee is produced by small-scale coffee farmers from San Francisco, Los Llanos, San Andres, and El Sauce Village, located in the San Ignacio province. Coffee farmers receive technical assistance, ensuring the production of high-quality crops. Additionally, their farms are evaluated to be part of the Organic program, as farmers have undergone training provided by the Asociación Agropecuaria de Productores del Norte. The most common varieties cultivated are Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, and Mundo Novo. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. The coffee cherries are de-pulped and subjected to 20 to 30 hours of fermentation in tanks. Following this, the parchment is gently washed and placed in a shaded area to dry until the ideal moisture content is achieved.
