Peru Mono Choro Darker

Darker Mono Choro is our take on a specialty version of a classic, darker coffee. It gives you the robust body and roasty notes you love without sacrificing the sweet flavor notes of this central jungle region of Peru. We are tasting dark chocolate, sweet caramel, and roasted hazelnut in the cup. If darker roasted coffees are your jam but you still want something that has been roasted with care, you should give this one a try as a drip coffee, a french press, or as a specialty single-origin version of a classic espresso. It is stout enough to shine through whatever cream and sugar you throw at it and balanced enough to drink black.

This fair-trade and organic washed coffee from the Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative in the Chanchamayo province in the Junín region of Peru's Selva Central gets it's name from the endangered yellow-tailed woolly monkeys that are only found in Peru.

From our Importer De La Finca:

Mono Choro takes its name from the woolly monkey that
moves through the cloud forest canopy of Peru's Selva
Central and from the Spanish slang that calls it a thief. Where
these animals still live, the forest is still intact, and that's
exactly the kind of land this coffee comes from.

Grown between 1,500 and 1,800 meters across smallholder
farms in the Selva Central by partner cooperatives with
decades of Fair Trade and organic certification behind them,
this is a clean, consistent Grade 1 washed Peru that delivers
on what FTO is actually supposed to mean.

De La Finca sources it because roasters who need reliable
volume and sourcing they can stand behind shouldn't have to
choose between the two.
