Sourced from the Cajamarca region of Peru, this Peru Selva Norte lot is produced by Selva Norte and brought to market by Press Coffee Roasters. The coffee is composed of the Catimor varietal, a hybrid known for its resilience and productivity. Following harvest at 1750 masl, the cherries undergo a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean.

In the cup, this selection presents a profile defined by sweetness and nuttiness, specifically featuring notes of maple syrup, nougat, and macadamia. While washed coffees often emphasize clean, bright profiles, the specific characteristics of this lot lean toward a comforting, dessert-like quality. To better understand how these specific descriptors relate to the broader spectrum of coffee profiles, you can consult the flavor wheel. This offering serves as a clear example of the distinct regional character emerging from the high-altitude landscapes of northern Peru.
