From the producer, Jhony Saavedra, El Acerillo is an organic Round & Sweet category coffee from the region of San Ignacio in Peru. A small family-run farm and wet mill, Jhony has invested and evolved his facilities over the last few years in order to produce an ever-rising quality of coffees. In Jhony’s words, he is most proud of his family, “who are always united to work for the future”.
This long-term view, family unity, and investment in quality infrastructure has resulted here in a wonderful coffee which we have the pleasure to roast and share with you. The Peruvian terroir, alongside skilled washed processing from Johnny and his team have produced a very balanced and well-structured coffee. On the cupping table, we experience notes of stone fruits, baked apple and caramel.
We have decided to roast this coffee as omni roast, which means it can be enjoyed equally as espresso and filter.
