Peru | Kontiki
Organic

Single Origin

The Kontiki has South American brightness and flavours, specific to the ‘Taste of Peru’. A top-grade and definitive Peruvian bean, the Kontiki offers an interesting chocolaty body, full but not heavy. Spice flavours are keenly obvious, that somehow carry the exotic flavours of the unique origin.

The Kontiki has the distinctive flavour profile of a Peruvian coffee. It’s an excellent choice for lovers of anything from Colombia or Central American origins who want to try something lighter in body but with that ‘bite’ they love.

Cupping notes: chocolate-y, fruitiness, brown sugar sweetness. Light body. The spice level is high but not overwhelming or harsh and there are sweet cinnamon flavours to boot! A definite Peru Kontiki favourite here in our cupping room.

The coffee is grown at altitudes above 1250 masl and is predominantly a mix of Bourbon, Typica and Caturra varietals although in some areas Pache and Geisha trees can also be found. Peru is one of the world’s top Fairtrade Organic producing origins. Farmers grow Inga trees to provide shade for their coffee, these trees attract hummingbirds, parrots, warblers and tanagers. The farmers also maintain small nurseries on their farms to raise seedlings to replace aging trees.
