Peru The Andes Natural

The Andes Natural opens with a deep, tart sweetness, like biting into a freshly picked black cherry. That sweetness deepens into a heavy body, transforming the tartness into notes of cooked strawberries, reminiscent of homemade strawberry jam. These flavors bring a fruity, clean dimension to a nutty, candy-like Toblerone chocolate finish. The Andes Natural is a great choice for adventure seekers and coffee enthusiasts who want a little more fruit in their cup while still enjoying the comfort of a familiar, satisfying profile. 

This coffee is grown by Nolberto Uriate Julca, who has lived and worked in the fields since the age of 10 when he started helping his family on the farm. In 2000, at the age of 20, he planted his first 5,000 coffee trees, earning a modest first harvest of 5 quintals. By 2025, the harvest increased to 150 quintales – today, at 45 years old, Nolberto continues to innovate, experimenting with new exotic varieties to meet the demands of the growing specialty market. His farm has provided the financial stability to educate his children and create new opportunities for his neighbors, many of whom take part in the yearly harvest.

This natural-processed Peru from producer Nolberto Uriate Julca showcases the rich fruit expression that natural processing methods often deliver. Cat & Cloud Coffee's tasting profile emphasizes stone fruits and berry notes alongside chocolate and nutty dimensions—a complexity typical of naturally fermented lots that develop pronounced sweetness. The interplay between bright acidity and deeper roasted tones creates a dynamic cup that bridges fruit-forward and chocolatey characteristics. Whether you're exploring processing techniques or seeking a versatile daily drinker with distinctive character, this offering reflects the producer's terroir and Cat & Cloud's roasting approach.
