Arabica Peru Churupampa Basic blend - 1000g

A creamy, smooth coffee. Suitable for espresso and milk specialities. A nice mix between the real South American flavours (sweet and nutty) and was fruity with notes of raspberry, star fruit and lemon.

Finca Churupampa is not just a plantation, it is a social enterprise that the Tocto family wants to expand. Last year, 30 farmers from the surrounding area joined in and innovated in new drying techniques and developments to make even better coffee. This coffee is organic and Fair Trade certified.

Proccessing - Fully washed and double fermented using a hand pulper, coffees are pulped and fermented in tiled tanks for about 12-24 hrs depending on weather. They are then washed and fermented again for the same amount of time. Coffees are then washed again and graded in channels. Parchment is dried on raised beds covered in plastic. This drying technique is absolutely vital to counter effect the heavy rainfall and high humidity that characterises harvest months in Chirinos.
