Peru Timbuyacu Maragogype

Managed by husband and wife team Alfonso and Karim Tejada, Timbuyacu is a verdant 20-hectare farm ideal for growing an array of coffee varieties, including Maragogype. This rare, low-yield coffee variety, often referred to as the elephant bean, produces extra-large coffee cherry and a distinct profile.

The Peru Timbuyacu Maragogype, sourced from producers Alfonso and Karim Tejada, represents a unique offering from the Peruvian coffee landscape. This lot features the Maragogype varietal, a mutation of Typica often referred to as "elephant bean" due to its exceptionally large size. While the flavor wheel serves as a standard tool for identifying nuanced profiles, coffees of this specific varietal are frequently noted for their distinct physical characteristics and cup profiles that can vary significantly based on their growing environment.

This selection is brought to market by Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a company known for its long-standing commitment to direct trade relationships. By highlighting the work of the Tejada family, this coffee provides a focused look at the output of a specific farm in Peru. It serves as an excellent example for those interested in exploring how rare, large-bean varietals contribute to the diversity of the global specialty coffee market.
