Peru — Fidel Huancas

We featured a natural lot from Fidel Huancas back in 2023, and it went down a treat. We’re glad to have him back in the catalogue – this time with a washed lot.

The cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, depulped and fermented in small tanks before being washed clean and dried under controlled conditions. Washing the coffee removes the sticky fruit layer completely, resulting in a profile that highlights crisp, juicy flavours rather than heavier sweetness natural lots tend to show.

The cup is bright and structured, with fruit-forward notes and a juicy texture that reflects the hallmark vibrancy of high-grown Peruvian coffee.
