Northern Peru is one of the most rewarding new-to-us regions we’ve dipped into over the past couple of years. Though we’ve mostly gravitated towards high vibrancy flavor profiles, this time we’re accentuating the rich, syrupy sweetness and rounder pomme-fruit punch that Cajamarca can also deliver, and the result is our first Peruvian entry to the illustrious GREAT SHOTS canon — Familia Quispe, an espresso oozing apples drenched in honey 🍎🍯 

We first fell in love with this coffee for the way it managed to embody a wide range of colorful characteristics on the cupping table, and yet ultimately, at no point did it veer off balance — always coming together as something sweet and simple, not unlike a freshly assembled rubik’s cube. This very same versatility led us to a couple of different—yet equally delightful—roasting approaches. For our Coffee Time subscribers, we first featured it at a lighter, bouncier level more akin to the remainder of our lineup, but gradually worked on a more developed approach that finally felt like an IDEAL espresso, and that’s precisely what you have here.

GREAT SHOTS. GUARANTEED. CHEERS!
