DIRECT TRADE COFFEE

Description

Roasted for a medium filter profile, it opens with notes of red apple and toffee, complemented by a smooth roasted-hazelnut finish. The cup is clean, balanced and sweet, offering a comforting yet vibrant expression of Peru’s mountain terroir.

The Holiday Filter Roast, sourced from Peru and prepared by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, offers a classic profile defined by its washed processing. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward intense, jammy fruit profiles, washed coffees like this one are typically prized for their clean, crisp acidity and clarity of flavor. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, the processing methods emphasize the inherent characteristics of the bean, resulting in the balanced, approachable notes of red apple, roasted hazelnut, and toffee found in this specific lot. These descriptors align with the foundational categories found on the flavor wheel, highlighting a comforting, dessert-like sweetness that makes this selection a versatile choice for filter brewing. Whether enjoyed as a morning cup or a post-meal treat, this Peruvian offering showcases the refined consistency that careful washing and precise roasting can achieve.
