12oz bag of of whole bean, ethically produced coffee
Taste Notes: Mango Shake, Ganache, Tropicalia Sensory Summer: Block party, stir it up, fudge, passion fruit, shots-on-goal, French 75, the King of Quality
Region: Cajamarca, Peru Grown By: Lenin Flores
Elevation: ~2000-2050 masl Variety: Yellow Caturro
Processing: Washed The combo of fresh tropical fruits and rich syrupy sweetness is rare to pull off, so the feat of nailing it is darn near a GUARANTEE we’ll be getting you (you the coffee, who we converse with on the cupping table in unabashed anthropomorphic glee) on the menu. But rarity be damned — Lenin Flores has coaxed out that very combination in this super-high-elevation-single-variety-lot that we are oh so thrilled to drop just as winter’s taking over. Lenin Flores is a new-to-us producer brought onto our radar through longtime import partners, Crop to Cup. This is also THEIR first year working with El Morito, a producers’ association based in Cajamarca in northern Peru. Lenin himself helms Morito’s Quality Assurance department
