A medium roast washed coffee from the Umapata community in Cusco, Peru sourced in partnership with the award-winning Yungas Coffee Project and roasted by Sacramento’s Camellia Coffee Roasters.
Bright & sweet, this crowd pleaser embodies Camellia’s mantra to create “coffees with character.” Pull it as espresso to get caramelized sugar and mandarin jam, brew it as drip for cara cara zest and toffee. With hot summer days ahead, it also makes an exceptional cold brew.
This coffee is connected to the Yungas Coffee Project, winner of the Sprudgie Award for Outstanding Achievement. This farmer-led initiative in Peru works to empower farmers, strengthen indigenous communities, and protect some of the world's most biodiverse forests.
Swiss orange chip. Dried apricot. Butter toffee.

Grind Guidance
Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
Tips
-
Adjust grind size if your shot pulls too fast (grind finer) or too slow (grind coarser)
-
Clean your Series 1 regularly for optimal performance
