Producer Profile
David Flores is the general manager and legal representative of El Morito, a new-to-us independent growers group from Northern Peru that we have just started buying coffee from this season. David has been working in coffee since he was young. Besides leading El Morito, he also owns and operates his own farm: La Neblina, which is situated at 1,850-1,900 masl. There, he primarily grows Sidra, Gesha, and Marshell. We had the opportunity to cup through a selection of El Morito lots in September, and this Sidra immediately stood out on the cupping table with its deep sweetness and articulate stone fruit notes. This is the first Peruvian Sidra we have roasted and we are excited to see one of our favourite varieties start to pop up in Peru.
Brewing David Flores
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a coarse setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Cajamarca
Cajamarca is the most famous of Peruvian growing regions. It sits on the border with Ecuador. The Eastern and Western Andes meet in the region, helping create distinct microclimates that are ideal for growing high-quality coffee.
Sidra
Genetic testing done by World Coffee Research classifies Sidra as an Ethiopian Landrace Variety. There is some indication that there is more than one genetically distinct variety being called Sidra in Ecuador. Sidra is famed for its floral structure, deep sweetness and prominent acidity. .
