La Danta Producers - Washed - Peru (Filter Roast)

La Danta is a blend of coffees produced in the highlands of San Ignacio and Jaen in Cajamarca.The blend is named after the Andean Tapir, also known as the mountain Danta. In Quechua,"sacha huagra" means "mountain Danta." The Andean tapir, an endangered herbivore, is commonly found roaming the Andes, especially in northern Cajamarca. La Danta represents, for Caravela and the community, a more conscious coffee-producing culture that prioritizes nature and coexistence with it. The producers who contribute to this brand recognize and believe that by always prioritizing nature, they add greater value to coffee and its surroundings. The farmers who contribute to La Danta have learned about coffee through generations, with some of the farms being established by their grandparents in 1980, dedicated from the beginning to co?ee production. Over the generations, they have been motivated to seek quality coffee, observing how the market has evolved, as many of them initially started selling conventional coffee. In recent years, they have improved their processing techniques and facilities and have adopted new coffee varieties, leading to enhanced quality and better prices. This lot is fully made up of the Bourbon variety, with fruity sweetness reminiscent of ripe nectarines, paired with confectionary like sweetness of marzipan, and beautiful soft sweet lime acidity.
