This Peru Cerro Blanco is a naturally processed coffee from the San Martín region. It features a blend of Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, and Typica varieties grown at an altitude of 1500-1900 meters. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of pineapple, offering a sweet and tropical experience with a rich, creamy body.
Adam McGovern and Aric Miller founded Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon in 2010, building the brand around a strong emphasis on design and meticulous attention to detail. They roast on a Giesen with a six kilo capacity, keeping batches small and hand roasted, and maintain a San Franciscan sample roaster for decaf and experimental work. The team includes Coffee Quality Institute Q Graders, and the roastery holds itself to a standard where baristas will toss a shot if the ristretto or foam does not meet expectations. Sterling sources ethically, working closely with farmers for both flavor and sustainability.
