Peru Organic Chasqui

TIP: You can save products to your favorites list if you log in Peru “Chasqui” (messengers of the Inca empire way back when!) is one of our “community coffees”: pooled microlots from different producers and regions with a country of origin. This certified organic washed gem comprises 68 local producers from three regions and micro-climates; San Martin, Cajamarca and Junin. Grown and harvested at elevations averaging 1800 meters. Peru is one of the up and coming lands for coffee, with topography favorable to indigenous and hybrid species of Arabica and increasingly progressive infrastructure. Coffees tend to be light-to-medium bodied and bright with prominent fruit notes. The varietals represented here are Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Catimor, Catuai and Castillo.
This iteration of Chasqui , which we are roasting more to the medium profile, is more like a rich power bar, evincing nougat, chocolate and raisiny sweetness. Including this coffee in the darker roast option as well, as it is very chocolaty approaching second crack n the roaster. We like it as both a pourover and single origin espresso.
