PERU
Peru is an emerging star in the specialty coffee world with high-altitude Andean farms producing remarkably clean, sweet and nuanced coffees.
This selection hails from Anthony Vasquez, a third‑generation coffee producer carrying forward his family’s legacy on his 10 acre, Don Vasquez Farm in San José de Lourdes, San Ignacio, Cajamarca. This washed Bourbon microlot was selectively harvested by Anthony and his brothers. Ripe cherries are rested for a few days after picking, then pulped using a mechanical depulper. The coffee is dry-fermented for 12 hours before being washed to remove remaining mucilage. Drying takes place under solar dryers for 25–30 days—slow, climate-dependent drying that protects the parchment while ensuring clean, stable cup quality.
