Ok, it’s time for another single origin espresso! We do love the clarity that brings sometimes, especially when the coffee’s this balanced.

We met Red Fox (who found and imported this one) at a coffee festival in London, and we really loved their ethos, especially their focus on buying from and supporting indigenous farmer groups (and there are lots of them in Peru.)

This is our first coffee from them and it’s arrived tasting just as it did on the pre-shipment cupping table - thick, sweet and citrusy in a few different ways if that makes sense? For me it starts with clementine and brown sugar, but there’s a lemon sherbet kind of higher-up acidity going on too. The finish is all vanilla and caramel and the body’s super heavy too.

In roasting terms I call this a coffee with a “big window”, you can roast it lighter or darker and both ways it has loads of flavours to offer. Lighter and you get bright, clean citrus and darker darker you get more caramel and liquorice, but both are great.

We’ve been carefully dialling in the roast on this one and I’m really excited to see what you think of it! So let me know!
