Review
This is a sweet and aromatic coffee. It’s nicely balanced in all three attributes: sweetness, acidity and bitterness with notes of pecan, candied cherries and purple grape juice lending mild acidity. Lilac florals waft in and out as it cools. The roast profile is medium-dark and that is reflected in the toasty notes on the finish. This might work exceptionally well on espresso or as a filtered coffee with milk.

Roaster notes: El Romerillo is owned and operated by Olga Calle. Her farm is located in the capital of the department in Cajamarca. The northern part of Peru is known for its high elevations and subtropical highland climate. Peru has a remarkable number of certified-organic coffees, such as this one.
Olga Calle contributes 100 percent to the production of her coffee, from picking ripe cherries, depulping, fermenting it for 26 hours and putting them out to dry for a period of 20 - 30 days.
