LA LAGUNA – A wonderfully chocolatey filter coffee from Peru.

We also seek out the highest-quality green coffee in Peru, and we’re continually surprised by the variety of exciting coffees this country has to offer. This wonderfully sweet organic filter coffee, with delicious notes of cocoa and raisin, is the perfect example.

All the coffees in this community blend come from various farms in Chirinos, in northern Peru near the border with Ecuador. The area, characterized by mountain forests, is famous for its first-rate coffee. These coffees were carefully selected and blended in collaboration with Finca Churupampa.

The coffee cherries are selectively hand-picked, and the fruit is removed immediately after harvest. The beans then ferment in a water tank for at least 24 hours before being spread out on drying beds to dry in the sun. This coffee processing method is called “washed.”

The processing of our La Laguna has resulted in a complex cup with lots of body. The coffee is intensely chocolatey and sweet, with subtle fermentation notes.
