Origin Coffee

Context

La Palma from Origin Coffee represents Peru's coffee heritage through the Marshell varietal, a selection less commonly encountered than mainstream cultivars. The roaster identifies sharp red fruit as the lot's distinctive character—a bright, pointed acidity that emphasizes berry-forward notes. Red fruit profiles typically emerge from specific terroir and processing choices, though natural-processed coffees in particular tend to amplify such vibrant fruit expression. Understanding how these flavor characteristics map across the sensory spectrum can be explored via the flavor wheel, a useful reference for identifying and contextualizing tasting impressions. This lot offers an opportunity to experience how regional Peruvian production and varietal selection combine to shape cup character.
