About Peru Washed Single Origin Coffee
A clean, sweet Peruvian washed lot with milk chocolate body and a crisp apple finish.

The new generation of Peruvian specialty coffee — clean, sweet, balanced. Hazelnut and milk chocolate body with a crisp apple lift on the finish. Approachable, but not boring.
Flavour notes
