Peru: Rumiyacu

About This Coffee

This coffee from Rodríguez de Mendoza in the Amazonas region of Peru brings together the work of 70 producers from the Rumiyacu Farmers Group, part of the Comité Café Monteverde. Grown between 1,600 and 1,800 meters above sea level, this coffee is a blend of Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache varieties. The coffee is fully washed, with cherries being selectively handpicked, pulped, and fermented for 12 to 24 hours before being fully washed in clean water and dried on raised beds inside solar dryers. The cup profile is balanced and complex with sweet notes of caramel and cola, with hints of apricot and cream. It has a full, creamy body and scored 88 points in cupping.

Muttley & Jack's Coffee Roasters

Jack Ryan, an Irishman who spent fifteen years working humanitarian and environmental campaigns with Greenpeace and the United Nations Refugee Agency, launched Muttley & Jack's in 2017 from the island of Rindö in the Stockholm Archipelago. The name honors Jack and his Boston Terrier, Muttley. After training at the Dublin School of Coffee and the Probat factory, and placing second in the Swedish Coffee Roasting Championship that same year, he channeled a former career as a chef into a roasting philosophy grounded in trusting your own palate. The operation centers on microlots and nanolots scoring 87 to 90 on the SCA scale, hand roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours. Sourcing partnerships prioritize direct relationships, and farmers receive between 200 and 400 percent above the commodity market price. The entire model runs on subscriptions, a format Jack built from scratch starting with just fifteen members on his very first roast.
