Eradio Zurita - Wet Process - 2024

This washed process Reserve Lot comes from producer Eradio Zurita, whose farm, El Caimito, is located in the mountains of Cajamarca’s San Ignacio province. A notably balanced cup, we taste an abundance of sweet fruit flavors from apple to blackberry, subtle spices, and a soft and creamy mouthfeel.

Produced by Eradio Zurita in the San Ignacio province of Cajamarca, this 2024 harvest represents a focused expression of Peruvian coffee production. As a washed coffee, this lot highlights the clarity and acidity often associated with the region’s meticulous processing methods. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can emphasize the inherent characteristics of the bean, allowing the delicate profile of apple, blackberry, and subtle spices to take center stage.

Sourced by Passenger Coffee, this selection invites drinkers to explore the nuances of the San Ignacio terroir. When evaluating such distinct flavor profiles, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the bright fruit notes and the underlying spice components. This lot serves as a clear example of the quality achievable through careful cultivation and traditional processing in one of Peru’s most prominent coffee-growing provinces.
