aldea la chota is a caturra lot from cajamarca, peru, roasted by corvus coffee roasters. it's processed anaerobically, meaning the coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-deprived environment before drying, which amplifies fruit and sweetness in the cup. expect red apple tartness alongside winey depth, with caramel, honey, and honeycomb rounding out the finish. the anaerobic process makes it well-suited to brewing methods that highlight sweetness and complexity, such as pour-over or aeropress, where you can dial in water temperature and ratio to keep the fruit clear without pushing bitterness.
