Coffee Description
This coffee launches with malted chocolate, vanilla, and graham cracker fragrances, then explodes in flavor notes of malted chocolate, white grape, pear butter, and delicate florals. As it cools, white grape lingers, with s’mores in the finish. Juicy acidity and velvety body: this is one mighty fine Peruvian coffee.

About Smallholder producers of Peru
The Association of Ecological Agricultural Producers of GUAY APAE is a group of small-scale coffee growers with a passionate commitment to growing quality coffee. In fact, their solidarity, vision, and pursuit of excellence draws other smallholder producers, women as well as men, to join their ranks. Known for their social responsibility which includes gender equality, members receive social and financial services through their co-op.
At GUAY APAE, meticulous post-harvest processing is turning out coffees that not only retain their original terroir--misty, remote, volcanic mountainsides--but come out shining with clean, balanced profiles, acidity, and body.
