About the bean
Peru has earned global acclaim for its premium coffee, a journey that began three decades ago which now extends to more than 6,000 families dedicated to high-quality production. Our latest offering hails from the esteemed Norandino Agrarian Cooperative, which represents 4,000 of these producers in the picturesque regions of Piura and Cajamarca.
No wonder this lot is a beauty! Norandino not only boasts one of the most advanced dry mill operations in Peru but also features its own SCA-certified cupping lab and training facility to ensure their Fairtrade certified and organic coffee is meticulously prepared for export.
Distinguished by an enjoyable medium acidity and a robust body, this one makes an impression thanks to a delicious rich chocolate character that expresses exceptionally well as a specialty brew (Americano, Flat White - raves aplenty here), as a standalone with no extras, or as you please. As a French press or standard drip, the appeal deepens even further. A bean to blend for a sweet contribution to the mix. For home roasters: nice and even, the density factor requires a slow roast.
