Coffee Details
Highlands is a Regional Select lot from Cajamarca, in Peru’s northeastern highlands: washed coffee from smallholders, with regional traceability rather than a single farm or producer. It is sourced through Lima Coffees in Jaén. I chose it for the brighter side of the range — panela, vanilla, cooked citrus, and a soft fruit finish.
Start here: Medium grind. 15g coffee to 250ml water.
