Discover the refined character of the Andes with the Koala Single Origin Peru – Australian Roasted Coffee Specialty (250 g). This exceptional coffee comes from Peru’s high-altitude regions—Cajamarca, Huánuco, Ucayali, and Cusco—where the combination of equatorial climate, rich soils, and abundant rainfall creates ideal conditions for producing complex and expressive Arabica coffees.
Grown at elevations between 800 and 2,000 meters, this coffee—primarily Typica and Caturra—benefits from slow maturation, allowing it to develop a balanced and nuanced flavor profile. The cherries are hand-picked in multiple passes, then processed with a 15-hour fermentation, followed by natural drying with a mechanical finish to ensure consistency and quality.
Roasted in the Australian espresso style, this coffee is crafted to deliver a rich, balanced, and consistent extraction. It performs exceptionally well as a classic espresso while also pairing beautifully with milk-based drinks such as cappuccino and latte.
In the cup, expect a harmonious sweetness paired with lively fruity acidity, complemented by notes of caramel, lime, and a smooth peanut butter finish. The result is a complex yet approachable coffee with a pleasant body and a refined aftertaste.
Peruvian coffees are widely recognized for both quality and sustainability. Produced mainly by smallholder farmers organized in cooperatives, this coffee reflects a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and social impact. Organic practices, careful water management, and composting all contribute to a more sustainable production process.
Peru is one of the world’s leading producers of organic coffee, with around 125,000 families involved and nearly one million people depending on the sector. Every cup therefore represents not only a great taste experience but also support for a more sustainable future.
