This harvest we don’t have one, but two Peruvian coffees! This coffee has, like our other Peru, an entirely female production chain. The owner of the coffee farm (Susy) is only 27 years old and a third generation coffee producer in her family.

This specific coffee has a pretty interesting cup profiel, with the flavour of concentrated fruits (red plum and raisins) and a clear acidity. This is partially the result of the prolonged fermentation of the coffee (40 hours!). After fermenting, the coffee is dried using so-called “solar driers”, which prevent the beans from rain and bad weather.

Coffee farmer: Susana Alcaron
Variety: Yellow Caturra
Region: Tabaconas district, San Ignacio, Cajamarca (Northern Peru)

Peru – Susana Alcaron

We are an Amsterdam based company existing out of a micro roastery, two coffee bars, a bakery and an SCA training space. 

Our 3 big pillars are quality, transparancy and sustainability and this is visible in everything Back to Black does. We know background stories from all our coffees, and we would love to share our passion for them with you!
