[PUH-ROO • KOH-VA-CHEE]

Process: Washed

Sweet Bread, Berry, Chocolate

Sourced from many smallholder farmers in Cajamarca, Peru.

Smooth and dependable. This washed process Peru has a cozy mouthfeel with notes of sweet bread and chocolate, underlying berry sweetness.

Most of the coffee produced in Peru is processed by hand on the producer's farm, and Kovachii is no different. Cherries are harvested, de-pulped, processed and then dried either on patios, drying beds, or on tarps. Farmers from all over Cajamarca bring their finished parchment to either a main warehouse in Jaen or to local buying stations in their communities for evaluation. Samples are taken, the green is evaluated, and the coffee is tasted -- then a price is agreed upon and the coffee is moved into storage. To create Kovachii, the highest-quality selections from these lots collected from smallholders are combined, milled, and prepared for export.
