Literally, Bakewell Tart. Lingering notes of sweet frangipane, and berry acidity.

This is a remarkably tasty single origin grown by Union Proagro, members of the all-female Café Femenino co-operative.

This is a coffee that works really well for all brew methods, but the more intense you brew it, the stronger the frangipane notes become, and as a milky (flat white, cappuccino, latte) the sweetness of the milk or milk alternative really lifts it straight into Bakewell tart territory!

How It Tastes

Via pourover, Aeropress & cafetiere it's a very satisfying yet easy drinking coffee with subtle notes of frangipane, and you might catch some berry acidy, maybe a slight hint of chocolate.

As espresso, long black or Americano, for me the Bakewell tart flavour is unmistakable when properly dialled in, but it's a forgiving bean in that if you're not well dialled in it'll still usually taste pretty good, it just won't quite sing the sweet notes.

As a flat white or cortado (i.e. a more intense milky) for me this is an amazing coffee, the espresso cuts through but is sweetened by the milk, for some really stunning milkies!

Union Proagro - Café Femenino

This coffee is produced by female farmers of Union Proagro across the Caranavi valley in La Paz, Bolivia.

Cafe Femenino was founded in 2004 by just under five hundred female coffee producers on a mission to empower previously marginalized female coffee farmers in Peru, and now involves thousands of woman coffee producers in several countries!

Union Proagro formed in 1997, and is made up of 300 members/families from 10 rural communities.

In 2009, a group of female farmers created a woman's association, separated their production from the male farmers, and joined the Café Femenino program. There are currently 42 female producers who farm 88 hectares within the Caranavi region.

If you need coffee, buy the best.

This coffee is gorgeous! I so look forward to using my Aeropress, letting it brew, savouring the aroma than letting it hit the taste buds. Absolutely perfect.

Coffeeworks teaching me to taste coffee's

I haven’t had my Sage B Pro for a year yet and therefore I am still on a learning curve. Watching YouTube endlessly trying to discover how to get the right taste etc doesn’t help as much as physically “dailing in the beans” and learning from mistakes and good brews. The Bakewell Tart Peru is a medium roast and leans towards the sour spectrum and much to my pleasant surprise was easy to dial in (maybe luck). I learn’t that my preference is towards darker roasts but for anyone looking for a light roast to go with an amaretti biscuit then this really is a great bean selection. Not for me but I'm delighted I tried it and we used it all.

Smooth but struggling to dial in

Had high hopes as I've never had a medium roast before but coming from a dark roast from another online shop I am really struggling to get these dialled in on a Sage Express Impress. Im down at grind size 4 on the dial and 3 on the internal burr and it's still pouring too fast. Not much difference happening at the lower end of the scale to be honest.
