This coffee is a single-origin offering from the San Sebastian farm in the Inkawasi region of Cusco, Peru, grown at an altitude of 2320 meters. Produced by Julio Chavez, this SL-9 variety is processed using a traditional washed method and dried on African beds for 14 days. The flavor profile is highly floral, featuring notes of jasmine, peach, pomelo, and a delicate sencha tea finish. It is a light roast with a clean, crisp, and balanced character.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
