Altos de Jaén

altos de jaén is a coffee from cajamarca, peru, roasted by round hill roastery. cajamarca sits in the northern highlands, where elevation and cool temperatures slow cherry development and concentrate sugars. the cup leads with tropical fruit character, expect something ripe and forward rather than delicate or floral. round hill's roasting approach tends toward lighter profiles that preserve origin character, so this responds well to pour-over or filter brewing where clarity and fruit expression can come through. use water around 93c, a medium-fine grind, and a slow, even pour to let the tropical notes develop without bitterness.
