Peruvian Coffee
About Our Peruvian Coffees
Peruvian coffee doesn’t always get the limelight it deserves, but honestly, it should. Grown at altitude in lush, biodiverse regions, Peru produces some real gems when it comes to speciality coffee.
At the moment, we’ve got one Peruvian coffee: Bakewell Tart Peru. It’s a beautifully smooth single origin with sweet frangipane and berry notes, an absolute treat in a milky.
I’m currently tasting more Peruvian coffees and will be adding them to the collection, but I won’t rush it. If a coffee doesn’t offer standout flavour and value, I’d rather leave it out. Stay tuned!
Peruvian Coffee FAQS
Q: What does Peruvian coffee taste like?
A: This is a more complex question than it may sound. Peru is diverse, like most coffee origins. What the coffee tastes like will be specific to the area in question, the altitude, the varietals, processing methods, and, of course, the roast profile.
Having said that, Bakewell Tart Peru is a great representation of Peruvian coffee. It has a really pleasant and bright acidity. For me, the base taste note is frangipane, and there are also notes of berries. The first thing that entered my head when I tasted this coffee was "Bakewell Tart"—hence the name.
Q: Is Peruvian coffee suitable for all brew methods?
A: Well, really, any coffee is suitable for any brew method. The question is: What brew method is likely to provide the best results for your palate with the coffee beans in question?
Bakewell Tart Peru is a versatile Peruvian coffee, which I find works really well with any brewing method.
Q: Do you plan to add more Peruvian coffees?
A: Yes! But only when I find something genuinely special. I’ve got samples on the way, but I’ll never add a coffee just for the sake of variety. It has to earn its place.
Q: Is Peruvian coffee good?
A: Oh yeah! I mean, it’s a bit of a generalisation, but Peru is easily one of the top coffee-producing origins when it comes to high-quality coffee beans packed with flavour and complexity. If you’re into smooth, sweet coffees with character, Peruvian coffees are well worth a try.
