Note from the Roaster

This washed selection from Peru offers a balanced and approachable cup with a mild acidity that highlights the region's diverse terroir. The traditional washed processing ensures a clean profile, allowing the natural sweetness of the beans to shine.

Most importantly, this coffee is defined by a silky smooth body, providing a refined and elegant mouthfeel that is a pleasure to experience with every cup.

Coffee Background

In the Quechua language of the Peruvian Andes, Minca refers to neighbors traveling from farm to farm, working together to ensure everyone’s needs are met, a bond that defines the care put into this coffee. Moreover, Peru is a top producer of fair trade and certified organic coffee. This lot from Junin is produced with a focus on agricultural and operational sustainability, navigating the costly three-year transition required for organic certification.

Roast Recommendations

  • Light Roast: Highlights the bright acidity of the Caturra and the floral, tea-like aromatics of the high-altitude varieties.

  • Medium Roast: Balances the chocolate and nutty notes of the Typica with the round, fruit-forward body of the Bourbon.

  • Dark Roast: Deepens the profile into bittersweet cocoa and toasted almond, softening the acidity for a bold and smooth finish.

About the Varieties This offering features a classic blend of high-quality Arabica varieties:

  • Bourbon & Typica: The parents of specialty coffee, known for excellent cup quality, brown sugar sweetness, and a mild, nutty profile.

  • Caturra & Pache: Mutations that offer bright acidity and a sweet, approachable character.

  • Catimor: Provides structure and tangy citrus notes, contributing to a complex layering in the cup.

Understanding the Grade: SHB and EP To ensure the highest quality, this coffee carries two prestigious designations:

  • Strictly Hard Bean (SHB): Signifies the coffee was grown at high altitudes, typically above 1,350 meters. These beans mature more slowly, resulting in a denser bean with significantly more complex flavors.

  • European Process (EP): Indicates a commitment to perfection through meticulous hand-sorting. To earn the EP designation, a lot must have no more than four defects per 1,000 coffee beans.

Why You’ll Love It You will love this truly elegant cup because it delivers a profile of flavors that evolves with every sip. We established Jeludes to share the passion of tasting coffee that is freshly roasted and full of life, offering a vibrant experience that store-bought options cannot replicate. Because specialty coffee is alive, you will notice how the cup changes as it cools, revealing complex layering and a refined finish that is a pleasure to come back to time and again.

Join us in creating these meaningful moments, enjoyed one delicious sip at a time.
