Ollancay

Description

This is our final Peruvian coffee of the latest harvest season! Ollancay (oh-yawn-kai) is an SL-9 variety from producer Valentin Orosco. This coffee went out first to our subscribers in January and was a smash hit. Valentin is a new-to-us producer, and this first selection from him is wowing us! This tremendous coffee is plush and rich with flavors of rhubarb, currant jam, and melon.  Valentin selectively hand harvested ripe cherries, then immediately pulped them. After a brief fermentation, the coffee was washed to fully remove any remaining mucilage. The coffee then dried on raised beds for 15-20 days.  As can be seen in the photo, Valentin's coffee plants are interwoven among shade trees, providing natural habitat to native birds.  Process: Washed Region: Cusco, Peru Variety: SL-9 Make sure to check that the roast date you've selected is what you're looking for — if there is an "upcoming roast" for this coffee, the upcoming roast date is listed under the tasting notes at the top of this product page.
