ROASTER’S CHOICE DECEMBER 2024

EL DIAMANTE, PERU

Origin: Peru
Region: San Jose De Lourdes
Varietal: Caturra
Process: Washed

This month's Roaster's Choice is here to sweeten up your festive season. This special lot comes from three small-scale families in El Diamante, San Jose De Lourdes. Their farms, around 1 hectare each, produce caturra beans with a unique profile - bright notes and a buttery finish- thanks to the region's cool, rainy climate.

El Diamante's isolation makes things challenging. Farmers must cross a river by boat to reach the nearest city, Jaen, making transport difficult. Many sell locally at low prices, limiting reinvestment in their farms. Despite these hurdles, the dedication of these producers shines through in every sip, bringing you a coffee that's both distinctive and delicious.

So sit back on your couch, take a moment for yourself, and indulge in rich flavour notes of milk chocolate, toffee and walnut.

CONTAINS:

500g or 1kg coffee every month, hand-selected by Nick and roasted by Claire

How long does the coffee last?

Typically, the coffee you’ll receive will have been roasted within a week. We recommend the coffee be consumed within 5 weeks (although it can still taste great after this).
What grind should I choose?

Typically, fine grind is for espresso machines however, for low pressure machines like SMEG, Dualit and the smaller Sage machines we recommend medium grind. All other brewing equipment like Cafetiere, Moka Pot, Aeropress, V60 are best with medium grind. Please get in touch if you are having issues with the grind.
