This coffee is produced by Arnulfo Cueva from the community of Dos de Mayo in Jaen province, Cajamarca, Peru. His one-hectare farm sits at 2,031 meters above sea level in the highlands of Jaen, and he is a member of the Aromas del Valle co-operative. This Caturra variety coffee underwent a 60-hour fermentation in cherry before being washed. The tasting profile features blood orange, yellow plum, and a caramelized sugary pastry-like quality similar to kouign amann.
Based in Philadelphia, Poem Coffee Roasters operates as a tiny boutique roasting company dedicated to ultra small batch production at the highest level. Their entire production schedule revolves around a single roasting day each week, with all coffees roasted to order exclusively on Tuesdays. This practice allows them to capture seasonally sourced specialty beans that reflect fleeting points in time, creating a limited and intentional coffee experience that celebrates the unique characteristics of each harvest.
