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 freshly roasted coffee to allow the beans to stabilize and fully open. This results in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimental lots 15–30 days.
