Peru Norte – Lima Coffee – Fair Trade Organic

Taste: This bean is a classic Peru – light in acidity and body, and bright in fruit and toffee flavors.  An excellent choice for those who enjoy lighter roasted coffees with herbal flavor but no sour notes.  Also excellent when blended with something hearty and darker roasted to add brightness and tang to the blend.

Roast: A softer bean that shines in a medium (City Roast) profile.  Avoid 2nd crack if you can.

About:  Rony Lavan is an ambitious and quality-driven cupper who has spent his career trying to carve out better and bolder coffees from small producers in Peru. While the country is emerging as a specialty market after many years of focusing on bigger lots and certifications, Rony’s passion is with identifying and developing the top scores and the best cups.

As president of the young Lima Coffees exporting organization, Rony has already established himself as standing at the fore of microlot-quality coffees in Cajamarca. His first year with Lima Coffees, he entered the national competition and won; with the introduction of the Cup of Excellence competition to Peru in 2017, the country is poised to enter the international spotlight for its finest offerings.
