Peru (Single Origin)
- Chocolate
- Apricot
Choose the bag you'll finish in about a month, while the beans are at their best.
Does a smaller bag stay fresher?
Not on its own. Both sizes are roasted to order and posted the day they're roasted, so they start out equally fresh. Beans fade fastest once the bag is open, so the fresher choice is the bag you'll finish within about a month.
Whole beans keep their flavour longest: grind just before you brew. Ground coffee fades faster, so if you're buying it ground, lean towards the smaller bag. Either way, keep the bag closed tight, somewhere cool and dark (not the fridge).
A cup here is about 17g of beans: a double shot, or a mug from the plunger.
Roasted to order, usually on a Monday, and posted the day it's roasted.

About this coffee
The Andes in every cup
High in the Peruvian Andes, these beans are nurtured in rich volcanic soils by smallholder farming families whose craft has been handed down through generations. Roasted fresh in Beechworth, this single origin reveals deep chocolate, rounded apricot and a bright, lingering finish.
