Fellow's Take on Peru El Puquio from Wonderstate | Pour-Over Brew Guide

 

Here's how we brew this Peru coffee grown high in the Andes and roasted with solar power in rural Wisconsin. Indulge in a silky cup of dark stone fruit: Peru El Puquio by Wonderstate!

Wonderstate describes this coffee as having “upended our expectations about what Peru coffee can be”. A localized heirloom Bourbon from a remote Andean village in Colasay province, it was roasted to perfectly balance its acidity and sweetness. 

We tasted plum, black cherry, sweet pastry, peach, green grape, and a hint of caramel, with a juicy red apple acidity.
