Single-origin coffee from Peru, sourced from JUMARP cooperative in the Amazonas and Cajamarca departments. Produced by small organic farmers practicing traditional intercropping methods. Dark roast with a silky body and balanced acidity. Bold front-of-cup with heavy pepper and clove notes that fade to vanilla sweetness and dark chocolate in the finish. Organically certified.
Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
