Lao Xu Zhai Village coffee from Yunnan Province in southwestern China. This naturally processed Catimor variety is grown in mountainous terrain with volcanic soil and subtropical climate. The coffee features sweet notes with hints of plum and cherry, warm baking spice and chocolate, and a subtle herbal finishing note reminiscent of anise.
PERC Coffee was founded in 2010 by Philip Brown in Savannah, Georgia, beginning with a Diedrich IR 12 roaster sourced from eBay and initial deliveries made by bike and backpack. The roastery operates from a restored warehouse alongside an organic community garden, embedding sustainability into both coffee sourcing and physical space. Brown sources colorful coffees from various origins, prioritizing long term producer relationships that allow consistency and trust building. The roasting philosophy centers on small batch profiles crafted to maximize sweetness and varietal character, while monthly free public cupping sessions invite the community into the sensory experience of specialty coffee.
