Lucía Muñoz (Sold out)

Lucía Muñoz lives and works on her coffee farm, based in Jaén, northern Peru, where this delicious lot comes from. Lucía has always grown traditional varieties like Caturra and Bourbon, but the uniqueness of her coffees comes from the extended fermentation processes she uses. This lot is fruity and bright with tropical notes of apricot, pineapple and passionfruit.

Produced by Lucía Muñoz in the Jaén region of Peru, this lot showcases the potential of the Caturra and Bourbon varietals when subjected to meticulous post-harvest techniques. As an extended fermentation coffee, it highlights how controlled environmental variables during processing can significantly influence the final cup profile, often pushing acidity and sweetness toward more vibrant, tropical expressions. In this instance, the roasters at Caravan Coffee Roasters have identified distinct notes of apricot, pineapple, and passionfruit. While these specific descriptors provide a snapshot of this particular harvest, those looking to better understand the nuances of such profiles may find the flavor wheel a useful tool for identifying similar characteristics in other coffees. Although this specific lot is currently sold out, it serves as a compelling example of the high-quality output emerging from Peruvian producers who are increasingly experimenting with specialized processing methods to elevate their traditional varietals.
