Peru, Lorenzo Arbildo Parra - WS

Crisp, Sweet, Nutty A washed Caturra microlot from Finca La Naranja in the Chirinos highlands of northern Peru. Lorenzo Arbildo Parra and his team grow it organically at 1,950 meters, and it cups soft and round: red apple and peach up front, toasted walnut and a mellow sweetness on the finish. Tasting Notes: Red apple, peach, toasted walnut Origin: San Ignacio, Cajamarca, Peru Producer: Lorenzo Arbildo Parra, Finca La Naranja Variety: Caturra Altitude: 1,950 masl Process: Washed Harvest: May to October Roast Level: Medium-Light About the Coffee: Finca La Naranja sits in the Chirinos area of San Ignacio, high in Cajamarca, the region that grows roughly a quarter of all Peruvian coffee. Lorenzo and his team farm with the environment first, making their own compost and bio-fertilizers and harvesting selectively by hand. Cherries are depulped and given an open-air fermentation before being washed clean and dried, the classic northern-Peru washed style that keeps the cup clean and sweet. Roasted to order in Atlanta.
