Uchuñari Coffee

Summary

This rare coffee from Peru's Tunkimayo farm in the Puno region is produced through a unique process where free-roaming coatis (Uchuñari) consume ripe coffee cherries, which are then recovered and processed. The coffee is a blend of Typica, Caturra, and Bourbon varieties, grown at 1578 meters altitude. It undergoes Uchuñari and washed processing, sun-dried on raised beds. The flavour profile features plum, honey, cashew, and red apple with a herbal earthiness, offering balanced acidity and a smooth, naturally sweet cup. Medium roasted. Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified.
