Peru - Chirinos Specialty Coffee, Single Origin Coffee

From the Chirinos region of Peru, this beautifully fruity Natural from Peru -

This is our 3rd Peru offering since we began and it's outstanding clarity of flavour, sweetness and brightness has placed it as one of our favourites of the year so far.

This naturally processed coffee from high altitude farmers has given a clear, bright fruity sweetness and acidity that is overly present throughout. Unlike a lot of naturals it doesn't have a large amount of 'funk' which can overpower some coffees, its clarity and brightness make for an outstanding filter brew.

The Producers

This lot is a blend of coffees from various smallholder producers across the Chirinos region. The average farm size amongst these producers is 1.5 hectares, with the main varieties grown being caturra, catimor and bourbon. Most of these producers dry their coffee on plastic mats on the ground, much like patio drying. Coffees were purposefully selected and blended together based on tasting notes typical of the region. All component lots come from high altitude areas and the early harvest, processed and dried by the producers on their farms.
