This coffee is from La Victoria within Peru's San Martín region. It is produced by the Cerro Blanco Producers Association (APROCEB), a group formed in 2020 by local families with multi-generational coffee farming traditions. The association works with Eleva Finca and focuses on environmental sustainability and collective growth. The flavor profile features bold, punchy cherry notes with bright and juicy characteristics, a warm pie crust body, and soft floral sweetness reminiscent of agave on the finish.
