Peru Diamante Roger Chilcon
Complex sweetness of natural sugars and malt syrup, with contrasting hints of dried fruit, tangy citrus, and delicately spiced aroma that brings interest to the cup profile. City to Full City.
Full Cupping Notes
The dry grounds have smells of spiced sugars, hazelnut syrup, with a sweet pistachio pastry note. Hot water stirs up a thick caramel sweetness in the steam, with golden raisin and brown sugar notes coming through in the aroma. The sweetness shows nice complexity in the cup, with flavors of minimally-processed sugars, honey, and barley malt Fruit flavors also have some bearing on the profile, though slight. Hints of black currant and raisin offer accent tones to the base sweetness, along with an orange hint that brings out a pleasantly tart acidic impression in light roasts. The finish tastes spiked with hints of whole spices, like cinnamon sticks, along with aromatic spiced herbal tea. Full City roasts take on more dark toned flavors, like high % cacao bar, with dark fruit accents of dried date and fig emerging as it cools.

Origin & Farm Notes
Roger Chilcon's 3 hectare farm is located in the village of El Diamante, tucked away in the highlands of San Jose de Lourdes. Though not the only farmer to do this, Chilcon bags up the coffee cherry from the day's harvest and seals them up for about 24 hours before processing. The idea is to start fermentation within the cherry in the hopes of translating to a more complex cup (often realized as an increase in fruited notes). He also employs a somewhat long fermentation times which can have a similar affect on flavor profile. Roger's farm sits at 1900 meters above sea level, the cold, high altitude zone ideal for slowing coffee cherry maturation, cultivating a denser coffee seed. The primary cultivars grown are yellow and red Caturra that are harvested together.
