This single-origin coffee is produced by Oswaldo Ore at Finca Qillu Rumi in the Inkawasi District of the Cusco Region, Peru. Grown at an elevation of 1,950 meters, this SL-09 variety is processed using a washed method. The flavor profile features bright and clean notes of white grape, apricot, jasmine, bergamot, and rose hips, with a medium-low intensity acidity reminiscent of orange peel. The body is comparable to black tea with medium intensity.
