Organic Peruvian French Roast Coffee, 5lb whole bean

French Roast

Distinct from our other French roasts, this Peruvian coffee is bold and spicy with tasting notes of mesquite, cherry, and chocolate. Although it flirts with a smoky mesquite flavor it leaves only creamy chocolate flavors behind in the aftertaste. No added flavoring. 2 Pack contains two 5lb bags of coffee (10lbs total).

An interdependent network of small farms

The region where Cooperativa Norandino members grow coffee is in the highlands of northwest Peru on the western slopes of the Andes Mountains. The co-op is made up of an association of 90 grassroots organizations of farmers. The average size farmed by each family is 1.5 hectares (about 3.7 acres). On these small plots, farmers are able to cultivate coffee without damaging the nearby forest and fruit species that serve as shade trees to the coffee and supply an important part of the families’ diets.

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.
