More About Peru Amazonas (Future Proof)
Origin and farm
Peru Amazonas (Future Proof) comes from the fertile slopes of Namballe, in the Andes near the border with Ecuador, within the Cajamarca region.
It comes from various small coffee farmers, not large-scale plantations.
The elevation ranges between 1,150 and 1,650 meters above sea level.
The region is known for its high biodiversity and natural ecosystems.
Peru supplies more than 75% of its coffee from altitudes above 1,200 meters, with pronounced sweetness and bright acidity.
Roast Profile
The coffee is freshly roasted weekly, except on Mondays. This guarantees optimal freshness.
The roast level is not explicitly stated, but flavors of milk chocolate and nuts suggest a medium to medium-dark profile.
The body is soft and creamy, indicating a balanced roast.
Other Peru Amazonas variants display medium to medium-dark roasts, and even French roasts.
Medium roasts often exhibit chocolate and honey notes, consistent with this coffee.
Flavor and aroma
Each sip reveals deep, creamy chocolate notes with refined hints of nuts.
Notes of milk chocolate, honey, cherries, and almonds are also described.
Peru-Amazonas generally displays flavors of dried fruit, caramel and candy, with a balanced body and acidity.
Other aromas described in similar variants include subtle citrus, spicy notes, and a soft body.
The aroma can also include honey, red plum and floral nuances, depending on the roast.
Processing Method
This coffee is washed processed, a clean, bright method that enhances flavor.
Peruvian coffee is typically washed on the farm and sold as parchment.
In another Peru Amazonas variant the beans are washed and sun-dried.
Sun-drying on raised beds is common in washed processing.
Together this promotes a clean, bright cup and consistent quality.
Variety
This single-origin contains the varietals Caturra and Typica.
In Peru, more than 70% of production is Typica, and about 20% Caturra.
Both varieties are classic Arabica types, beloved for their nuance and aroma.
Typica is one of the oldest Arabica varietals in the world.
Flavor diversity in Peru is partly due to the high proportion of these varieties.
Sustainability and ethics
The name 'Future Proof' refers to sustainable agriculture and fair conditions for farmers.
No pesticides or chemicals, only natural pest control methods.
Soil is tended with natural compost, without artificial fertilizers.
Production supports small-scale farmers who farm in a future-proof way.
Peru is generally a leader in Fair Trade and organic coffee, although sustainability remains complex.
Brewing Recommendations
Recommended brewing methods: Pour-over (V60), Chemex, French press, drip coffee, AeroPress, percolator, super-automatic machine, and espresso machine.
Filter methods such as V60 and Chemex bring out fruity, bright notes.
Also brews well with milk: soft chocolate notes pair well with milk.
Medium roast and bright aromas go well with pour-over and AeroPress.
Use freshly ground beans and an appropriate brew temperature for optimal flavor. (General advice)
