you'll taste winey before jasmine. this is peru roberto herrera - organic, a honey peru from backstory coffee roasters - west side.
this coffee has winey, floral, and honeycomb qualities, with jasmine and honey running through the cup. the honey process adds a fruit-forward sweetness that makes it notably different from a washed peruvian coffee.
it's grown organically by roberto herrera in cajamarca, peru, and processed using the honey method, meaning some fruit pulp remains on the bean during drying. this contributes directly to the winey and honeycomb notes in the finished cup.
the light roast suits brew methods that emphasize clarity and allow the floral and honey notes to come through, such as pour over. use freshly ground beans and water just off the boil, around 90,93°c, to avoid masking the more delicate jasmine and winey qualities.
