This community lot comes from Sanitago de Oropel, which might be one of the most beautiful spots in all of Peru. A place growing Bourbon and Typica at 1800-2000 masl, we are treated to old genetics flourishing in a idealistic environment. Two of our coveted heirloom varietals, Typica is one of the most cul­tur­al­ly and genet­i­cal­ly impor­tant ara­bi­ca cof­fees in the world. Due to being highly sus­cep­ti­ble to cof­fee leaf rust, producing one of the lowest yield of fruit, and being overall problematic at times, it’s amazing to find this varietal still being planted. At first, it’s fresh blueberries and chamomile blossoms setting the stage of softness to showcase the chocolate dipped cashew cookie goodness. The creaminess of cashew and nougat expands through the bitter bite of 70% cocoa, making the fruit feel more like dehydrated blueberry, bing cherry, and taffy as it lifts to finish clean and sweet. Dark chocolate covered blueberries sums it up. A range of flavors not normally associated with washed coffees.
