This coffee comes to us from Santos Faustino Garcia Flores, a coffee producer in the Piura region of Peru. Santos's farm, Nogal and La Playa, is in the Carmen de la Frontera district in Huancabamba near the Ecuadorian border in northern Peru. The area has varied altitudes, climates, and terrain, contributing to the coffee's pleasant nature. Santos has been farming coffee since he was 15 years old. He grows Caturra, Bourbon, Catimor, and Pache varieties among the shade of banana trees. We love this particular lot. It's sweet and smooth, with enough subtle complexity to keep you coming back for more. We taste sweet maple syrup and candied lemon flavors in the cup with a rich brown sugar finish.
