Coffee Facts

So apparently the legend goes that many years ago there was this giant snake called Quira. One day this snake crossed this area taking everything and everyone in its path. This path of destruction opened a new road that the families later used to transport gold, rubber and later even husk to cure malaria. The community of Quiquira thanks its name to this epic snake. 

It’s not really related to this coffee per se, but we just wanted to share this snake story with you. About the coffee though: it’s from a small group of producers in Puno where we got a lot of small lots from this season. It’s a washed bourbon from Peru so you can expect a fresh and crisp coffee with notes of yellow plum, ceylon tea and a vanilla sweetness.
