peru coffee
by bench coffee co. roastery · brunswick, australia
you'll taste raisin before milk chocolate. this is senaida chilcon, peru, a washed peru from bench coffee co. roastery.
it leads with raisin sweetness and milk chocolate, finishing with darker cocoa notes. the washed processing keeps the cup clean and structured rather than fruity or funky.
it is grown in cajamarca, peru, using caturra and bourbon varieties, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before the beans are dried.
filter methods such as pour-over suit this coffee well, as they highlight the clarity that washed processing produces. aim for water around 93 celsius and a medium grind to bring out the chocolate and raisin tones without bitterness.
a roastery that actually roasts, on breese street in brunswick, is rarer than it sounds. plenty of places in this city call themselves roasters and mean it loosely. bench coffee co. takes it literally, which means what's in your cup was probably turned here, on this street, not shipped in finished from somewhere else and quietly rebranded. brunswick makes sense for it, a suburb that's been quietly serious about food and coffee longer than most people give it credit for. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit or proximity alone. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, breese street is worth the detour.
