Description:Peru is the largest exporter of Organic coffee in the world! Much of this coffee comes from the Cajamarca Department. Many coffee growers in the area each have small farms averaging 2-3 hectares which drives to need to be part of a larger cooperative. Most growers pick their own cherries and have their own on-site wet mill which allows coffee to be processed incredibly fresh.
The Cajamarca department is in Northern Peru with heights as much as 2,700 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountain Range. Cajamarca borders Ecuador in the North and has a very stunning landscape that includes the largest mountain range in the world running through the department as well as part of the largest rainforest in the world; the Amazon!

Let It Rest!

I enjoy light roasts that show off the origin and varietal characters without a touch of distracting roastiness, so therefore I've learned to let the roasts "rest" for more than a few days. In the case of this Peru bean it peaked at about two weeks! Deep cherry, light chocolate, sweet spice hints (maybe cinnamon?) and a very pleasant citric finish, that's how it came out of a Chemex brew this morning. It had a bit of a steeper deltaBT after first crack, so I'm sure I haven't extracted all the flavor potential. Looking forward to roasting and brewing this again!

Great coffee

I was given a bag of this same Peruvian coffee roasted by Equator and was delighted to find it available at Bodhi. I’ve roasted several pounds and love it. Roasts easily and uniformly and is mild and low acidity. Has a smooth chocolaty taste. A standout.

took a chance on the Peruvian

The Peruvian bean was excellent. It reminded me a lot of the Colombian flavor profile, bright, citrus-acidic, bursting with flavor. I am looking for a good single-origin espresso, and I think this could work.

Not the worst coffee

I suppose I've had worse coffee. If you want a serious coffee roasting challenge, this bean is what you're after. It may be difficult for the casual home roaster to understand this bean, so beware and enjoy!

Smooth Peru

I roasted this coffee to city plus and enjoyed the pleasant aroma it put off. I have tasted other good puruvia coffees before and this one was very similar. There is an overwhelmingly great aroma yet a mild taste to their coffees. This one did not disappoint me at all.
