David Flores, Peru

A fermented washed coffee from Ebert Huaman at Finca Artemira in Cajamarca, Peru, grown from Caturra and Catuai. Orange, toffee, and almond notes make it classic, sweet, and balanced.

Since 2017, Manuel Baca has been deeply involved in managing and improving the family farm, Finca Pacpa, in the Amazonas region of Peru. Coffee production is ingrained into this family's history, a fourth generation farmer himself and many of his relatives are coffee producers in their own right, so it comes as no surprise that this coffee is simply excellent.

Yeisson Calderon is the son of renowned coffee producer Luis Anibal Calderon, of Finca Betulia, running his own farm called El Vergel. Yeisson has coffee royalty running through his veins, and after leaving Huila to pursue a career in Bogota he returned to his rural roots on the farm.

She is back for another year and she is better than ever. Peaches in syrup, jammy strawberry and a hint of jasmine, the ultimate expression of what to expect from Catarina Mendez.
