      Overview

      This year’s harvest out of La Convención, the largest province in Peru’s Cusco region, has cemented the coffee as one of Passenger’s foundational offerings. This community blend was expertly sorted from 36 smallholder farmers then washed at the newly improved wet mill, and it’s an exemplum of the signature aromatic flavors of Peruvian coffee. Sweet and buttery, we found notes of apple and toasted oats, with a citrus aroma and a tea-like body.

      Fellow's Unique Selection Process

      Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!
