Maple Syrup, Candied Lemon
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 recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
