Organic Peru Cajamarca
Peru's northern highlands have quietly become one of specialty coffee's most reliable sources of clean, sweet, organically grown beans—and this Cajamarca lot from Centri Coffee is a beautiful example. Sourced through Royal Coffee from the PERHUSA cooperative near San Ignacio, it's grown by smallholder families on mountainous farms between the Pacific slopes and the Amazon basin, where elevation and humidity create ideal conditions for slow-ripening cherry.
Each farm in this lot is managed entirely by hand: picking, depulping, fermenting for 24–36 hours, scrubbing clean with fresh water, then sun-drying on patios for about ten days. The result is a coffee that feels both approachable and refined—medium-bodied, low-toned, and richly sweet.
Tasting Notes
Expect prominent vanilla bean on the nose and palate, supported by soft caramel sweetness and a hint of ripe cherry in the finish. The acidity is gentle and balanced, the body smooth without being heavy. It's a forgiving, crowd-pleasing profile that doesn't sacrifice complexity.
Brew Methods
This coffee performs beautifully across the board. As espresso, it delivers creamy sweetness with minimal edge—ideal for milk drinks or straight shots. In a pour over (V60, Kalita), the vanilla and cherry notes open up with clarity. French press brings out the body and caramel depth. Even as cold brew, it stays sweet and balanced without turning flat.
