Rinaldos Coffee: Organic - Peru - San Ignacio - Washed

A really pleasing coffee with a buttery finish and refined acidity. It is ideal for pour-over methods.

Lima Coffee was founded in 2016 by Rony Guerrero in Jaen. Rony had previously worked in quality control with one of Peru’s largest exporter and was very aware of the quality and potential some producers have, but saw those coffees get blended into large commercial lots. With this Rony decided to set up a cooperative with a different structure, he wanted to base the membership on cup quality. He knew of areas and producers in Cajamarca who have great quality and approached them to buy their best prepared coffees, with the aim of selling them as microlots to the US market. In most cases cooperatives are formed by a group of producers with the aim of exporting their coffee and the coffee in their region, but Rony’s model is entirely based on quality and those producers that are more focused on quality.

Many of the producers are in the San Ignacio province (which lends its name to this lot) within Cajamarca, and they all have their own small depulper and drying beds or patio. The coffee is processed in the traditional washed style, with a long dry fermentation. This lot is made up of yellow and red caturra and typica from five producers; Luiz Antonio, Jacinto Jora Willaacero, Alexander Flores, Rosendo Cofiria and Gevaro Cruz.
