PERU Monteverde, Espresso

About This Coffee

This fully washed coffee from Peru's La Jalca region in Amazonas is grown at 2000 meters altitude. It comes from 150 independent producers united under Monteverde's Nueva Esperanza group, combining Caturra, Bourbon, and Pacamara varieties. Farmers selectively handpick ripe red cherries, which are then pulped and fermented for 12-24 hours in plastic tanks, washed thoroughly, and dried on raised beds inside solar dryers. The coffee is traded by Sucafina and features tasting notes of honey, dark chocolate, and red grapes. This espresso roast is specifically suitable for espresso brewing.
