Peru Andean Lumina – Challhuamayo Washed

A second Monthly Micro-Lot this month comes from the lush, biodiverse highlands of Challhuamayo, Peru, where Edith and Ivan Meza Sagarvinaga continue their late mother’s legacy at Finca Tasta. This brother-sister team embodies sustainability and innovation, working closely with their community to cultivate exceptional coffee while prioritizing biodiversity and water conservation.

The washed process of this lot produces an extraordinarily clean and balanced cup, with delicate fruit tones, herbal complexity, and a deep, chocolatey sweetness. Our roasting approach allows for versatility, making it ideal for both bright, high-dosed pour-overs and silky smooth cold brews.

Tasting Notes:

🍋 Lime Zest & Lemongrass – A refreshing, citrusy lift with a crisp, clean finish
🍑 Peach & Plum – Soft, juicy stone fruit sweetness adds depth
🍫 Milk Chocolate & Buttered Pecan – A comforting, silky smooth body with caramelized richness
🌿 Black Tea & Rosemary – Light herbal and tea-like aromatics enhance complexity

Brewing Recommendations:

• Pour-Over (V60 or Cone Brewer, Higher Dose): Highlights sweetness and citrus vibrancy
• Cold Brew & Nitro Cold Brew: Emphasizes the chocolatey depth with refreshing citrus accents
• Drip & Immersion Brews: Showcases a well-balanced, structured profile with a soft, silky texture

This Andean Lumina – Challhuamayo Washed micro-lot is a rare gem—a harmonious mix of brightness, softness, and decadent sweetness.

Only available this month—once it’s gone, it’s gone!
