This coffee is a single origin from Peru, specifically from the La Palma region in Chirinos. It is produced by Joel Marin Mires at an elevation of 1770-1900 meters above sea level. The coffee is processed using the anaerobic natural method, where the cherries ferment in a controlled, oxygen-free environment before being dried. The varietal is Marshel, a unique cultivar grown in this region. This anaerobic natural process creates a distinctive cup profile with notes of strawberry shortcake, molasses, and almond.
