This coffee comes 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 near the Ecuadorian border. The area has varied altitudes, climates, and terrain, contributing to the coffee's pleasant complexity. Santos has been farming coffee since he was 15. He grows Caturra, Bourbon, Catimor, and Pache varieties among the shade of banana trees. We taste sweet maple syrup and candied lemon flavors in the cup with a rich brown sugar finish.
We allow fresh coffee to rest before drinking it. This give the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character comes alive and shines. We rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffee for 10–15 days, and experimental processed lots for 15–30 days to reach their maximum potential.
