Peru Coffee Single Origin - La Cima Washed
Some classic coffees don’t need to shout to stand out. Peru La Cima is one of them—quietly refined, deeply sweet, and built on the kind of consistency that only comes from care at every step.
Grown in the northern highlands of Cajamarca, across the provinces of San Ignacio, Jaén, and Cutervo, this coffee is a collective effort of smallholder farmers who are steadily redefining what Peruvian coffee can be.
Origin & People
This lot brings together coffees from multiple small-scale producers, each working small plots in high-altitude terrain. Varieties include Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Pache, and Catimor—a diverse mix that reflects both tradition and adaptation.
What sets La Cima apart is the commitment to improvement. Farmers here are supported with ongoing technical training, helping refine harvesting, processing, and overall quality. The result is a coffee that feels considered—built on knowledge, not guesswork.
Harvest & Processing
Everything starts with strict cherry selection. Only fully ripe cherries are picked, then floated and hand-sorted to remove defects.
From there, the process is classic washed—but executed with precision:
- Depulped shortly after harvest
- Fermented for 30–40 hours, carefully controlled to develop clarity and sweetness
- Fully washed to remove all mucilage
- Dried for 16–20 days under controlled conditions until optimal moisture is reached
It’s a process that doesn’t overcomplicate—but doesn’t cut corners either.
In This Cup
La Cima is all about balance. Medium body, gentle acidity, and a smooth, structured sweetness that carries through the entire cup. It’s approachable, but far from simple.
This is the kind of coffee that works every day—and still holds your attention.
