Peru Valle del Santuario – Counter Culture January 16, 2009
Back to the office after a nice 2 week break, and back to Counter Culture to start the new year off right. My friend John roasted some Peruvian greens from Counter Culture over the holidays and was raving about them, so I figured it was worth trying some pre-roasted.
I’ve never had coffee from Peru before, but I would imagine it’ll taste like most South American coffees, bright and crisp. This coffee comes from a few farms in the San Ignacio area of Peru, so while it’s not a single farm, it’s definitely single origin by my book.
This coffee doesn’t disappoint. It’s extremely smooth with subtle vanilla and chocolate flavors. There’s no crazy finish, what you get from the first sip stays with you, but the flavor lingers a bit in your mouth. It’s really nice for a breakfast cup, I would totally get this again.
