Peru Yanahuaya FTO

Light Medium Roast. The Alto Inambari subregion, situated in Puno’s Sandia Valley, produces some of the most distinct and coveted coffees in the world. The geography of Puno is defined by dramatic contrasts, ranging from deep tropical jungles to the icy peaks of the Andes. Located at nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, it ranks as the fifth-highest city in the world. Despite extreme altitudes and low temperatures, the Andes provide unique biodiversity and mineral-rich, fertile soil ideal for specialized cultivation. Reaching the Sandia jungle requires a five-hour journey from Juliaca. This area’s tropical climate and altitudes exceeding 1,600 meters above sea level create the optimal environment for the diverse and superb coffee subregions that have made Puno notable.

This coffee is balanced and sweet with notes of vanilla nougat and cane sugar.    

12 oz and 1 lb bags will all be packed in our 12 oz retail bags, so they can be heat-sealed and Nitrogen-flushed to preserve freshness and create the best drinking experience possible.

Sourced from the Sandia Valley in the Puno region of Peru, the Peru Yanahuaya FTO represents the distinct terroir of this high-altitude landscape. At 1600 masl, the coffee cherries develop slowly, a process often associated with the development of complex sugars and refined sweetness. Roasted by Beanstock Coffee, this specific lot is characterized by notes of vanilla nougat and cane sugar.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consider how sweetness manifests in the cup; while some coffees lean toward bright, acidic fruit tones, others offer a more rounded, confectionary quality. To better understand the nuances of these flavor descriptors, you can reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific aromatic compounds that contribute to the nougat and sugar notes found here. This selection highlights the balanced, approachable profile that has become a hallmark of quality production within the Puno region, offering a clean and comforting experience for the palate.
