by sterling coffee roasters · portland, usa
expect brown sugar. this is peru kovachii: tastes like nectarines & brown sugar, a washed peru from sterling coffee roasters.
the primary tasting note is brown sugar, giving the cup a rounded, gentle sweetness, alongside a nectarine character that adds a soft, stone-fruit quality. the washed process keeps the flavours clean and clearly defined rather than jammy or heavy.
it's grown in cajamarca, peru, using caturra, bourbon, and typica varietals. the coffee is washed processed, meaning the fruit skin and pulp are removed before the beans are dried, which produces a cleaner, brighter cup.
filter brewing methods such as pour over or batch brew suit this coffee well, as they preserve the clarity that washed processing delivers. keeping water temperature around 93-96°c and a medium-fine grind will help highlight the brown sugar sweetness without muddying the stone-fruit notes.
