About This Coffee

This coffee comes from El Perlamayo, a small farmers' cooperative in Peru located at approximately 2,000 masl, run primarily by the Rioja family and the Vasquez brothers, with individual plots of just 2 hectares. Cultivated with Caturra and Bourbon varieties, the cherries are manually selected for homogeneity, rested for 48 hours, depulped, fermented for 48 hours in plastic bags, washed, and dried on raised beds. Flavor notes include peach and butterscotch.

D612 Coffee Roasters

Lucian Trapanese founded D612 Coffee Roasters in Florence in 2017 after gaining experience at several European roasters, and now runs the operation in partnership with Lorenzo Caldarelli. The roastery sources exclusively from small traceable farms, roasting specialty grade coffee multiple times per week to guarantee maximum freshness, with each package hand packed before it leaves the facility. Their roasting philosophy centers on bringing out the natural flavors of each coffee without unnecessary intervention or over roasting, an approach that has earned respect among Florence's baristas and coffee professionals. D612 supplies notable Florentine establishments including Simbiosi, Melaleuca, and Brac, building a quiet but growing presence in a city where traditional espresso culture still dominates. The roastery sees coffee as a tool of connection between farmer, roaster, and consumer, with transparency and sustainability guiding every sourcing decision.
