ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
El Mirador was first owned by close relatives of Yoniser Mego Silva. Originally, the small plot of land was used to grow coffee and raise cattle. When Yoniser’s parents took over the farm in 2000, the family started expanding the coffee growing area to include catimor and caturra. In 2020, they planted their first gesha trees. In 2023, El Mirador placed first in the Peru Cup of Excellence. This lot from El Mirador was washed and anaerobically fermented for 25 to 30 hours. Then, it was dried for 15 to 18 days.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
We're excited to share another incredible coffee from Peru, this time from El Mirador, the farm behind Peru's #1 Cup of Excellence coffee in 2023. This lot is another example of the nuanced and expressive profiles we've been finding throughout the country.
The coffee is immediately aromatic, with a distinct cherry blossom fragrance that comes through as soon as the beans are ground. In the cup, a clear white peach sweetness forms the center of the profile, surrounded by layers of stonefruits and delicate florals.
As the coffee develops, the creamy floral character becomes increasingly reminiscent of Iron Goddess tea, adding a soft, elegant quality alongside the fruit. The combination of peach, creaminess, and florals gives the cup a deep complexity that continues to reveal itself as it cools.
It's another beautiful example of the kind of nuanced coffees coming out of Peru that we've been enjoying so much.
