Peru Caturra & Red Bourbon - Washed Peruvian Specialty Coffee - (Unroasted)

Cup Profile

This "Signature" washed lot offers a classic and structured Peruvian profile, distinguished by its cleanliness and sweetness. The coffee presents a dominant chocolate aroma accompanied by bright notes of lime. In the cup, expect a rich sweetness featuring caramel, molasses, and white chocolate, balanced by medium acidity and a medium body that leads into a smooth, sweet finish.

Micro-Lot & Processing Details

This lot reflects a dedication to consistency and bean integrity. The cherries were selectively handpicked to ensure optimal ripeness before undergoing a controlled mechanical drying process in a Guardiola.

To preserve the cellular structure of the bean and secure a long shelf life, the coffee was dried using low-temperature hot air (circulated between 35°C and 40°C) for approximately 72 hours (3 days). This slow, homogeneous drying method allows for precise moisture control, resulting in the clean and consistent cup profile noted in the sensory analysis.
