Peruvian coffee can be truly excellent and when we cupped this coffee in the roastery we were impressed. This is a great example of the complexity and balance that the cooler and higher climates in Peru can achieve. This cup has a bright and snappy acidity, a tonne of yellow fruit character and a pleasant light, caramel flavoured note to round things out.

When Caravela buys coffee, they do it by developing a relationship directly with producers. This can create a problem for buyers, like us, where the coffee arrives in Australia quicker than the team are able to get high quality information about the producer. So, the little we know, by way of Caravela for now, is this: Saul Olivera Mego grows incredible coffee and we're lucky to get hold of it.
