About This Coffee

This single origin coffee from Peru is produced by Efrain Carhuallocllo in the Chirinos region at 1,700 meters altitude. The Caturra variety coffee undergoes a washed process with 48-hour fermentation followed by careful drying on African beds for approximately 25 days. Efrain is one of Peru's most innovative and award-winning producers, having placed second in Peru's first Cup of Excellence competition and winning multiple local and national contests. The farm grows both yellow and red Caturra varieties without herbicides or pesticides. The flavor profile features stone fruit, berries, dark chocolate, and floral notes.
