Peru La Copia, La Union Filter Roast
What a great coffee to break in 2019 with? Hitting the roastery on the last few days of 2018, that we have taken time to rest and roast to various different levels to find just where this works.
Peru is delivering some truly excellent coffees. A combination of different factors is making it attractive at the moment, which I will elaborate, in true inarticulate fashion here.
