The Coffee: A multi-varietal, washed process community lot roasted light medium, this coffee offers up a sweet cup with balance of medium weight in the body and moderate acidity on the finish.

This coffee is highly versatile and brews up great in all formats from drip/pour over to espresso. 

The Producer: A blended lot from the Juihuay Community of the indigenous Quechua peoples in Cusco, Peru. This coffee is grown at soaring heights of 2300m/8500ft above sea level in the Peruvian Andes. Contributing members of this community lot farm less than 5 hectares each with sustainability in mind. Farming within the Manu Biosphere Reserve the community showcases biodiversity conservation, efficient water use, and organic production while producing specialty grade coffees.
