Bean Spotlight: Peru - Organic Chasqui

This USDA Organic Peruvian coffee comes from the collection of 68 smallholder coffee producers throughout three regions in Peru: Cajamarca, Junin and San Martin. The altitude of these farms range from 800–1,800 meters and produce coffee varieties including Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Catimor, Catuai, and Castillo. This coffee is harvested May through October, where the beans undergo natural fermentation, are washed and then sun dried. The end result is a coffee with sweet notes of chocolate, nougat and tart green grape with mild acidity and a smooth body that finishes like a crisp, white wine.
