Peru Tapir Andino Red Honey

Remarkable taste

The Peru Tapir Andino Red Honey coffee is a mesmerizing medium roast that resonates with the heart of coffee connoisseurs. Grown in the lush, verdant terrains of the San Ignacio Province in Cajamarca, this coffee is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Peru. The beans, cultivated at an altitude ranging from 1350m to 1890m, are of the Bourbon, Caturra, Mundo Novo, and Typica varietals. They undergo the red honey process, which involves leaving some of the fruit's mucilage on the beans during drying, imparting a distinctive sweetness and body to the coffee.

The cooperative effort of smallholder farmers from the Cooperativa Agraria Frontera San Ignacio ensures that each bean is nurtured with care and sustainability, creating a cycle of economic and environmental stewardship. The cooperative's collaboration with the importer DR Wakefield and COOPAFSI on the project “El Oso” to preserve forests near coffee-growing areas is a commendable endeavour that enhances the coffee's narrative.

With tasting notes that suggest a delightful medley of milk chocolate, apple, and blueberry, this coffee promises a smooth and creamy body. The apple soft sweetness is complemented by a blueberry-like finish, making it a coffee that can brighten up any morning or serve as a gentle companion to a late afternoon respite.

For brewing, the whole beans offer versatility whether you prefer a classic filter, stovetop, AeroPress, or a rich French press brew. Pair it with a warm croissant or a slice of apple pie to accentuate its fruit notes, or enjoy it on its own to truly savour its complex flavour profile.
