About This Roast

Peru is the forgotten child of the specialty coffee world. It is a huge country, so much so that the growing seasons differ by a month or so even within the same country. Peruvian coffees are notable for their mildness and sweetness, even though they are grown at really high altitudes on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes.

They are better in a light roast than a dark roast, as the flavor and mild acidity roast away quickly. But a soft, sweet Peru is a subtle charm and can really be appreciated if you take your time with it. One of the most easily drinkable coffees black. Wonderful coffees come from Chanchamayo, Pangoa, and Lamas.

These beans are sourced in Pangoa, a small coop on the Amazonian slopes of Central Peru. Essential Services is happy to bring you the sweet, soft beans prepared so well by indigenous Ashaninkas farmers and freshly roasted in our Alta Wyoming facilities.
