Peruvian Coffee: Thundering Herd
Our medium roast Peruvian Coffee, aptly named Thundering Herd, honors the majestic American Frontier Buffalo. These iconic creatures symbolized strength, resilience, and the untamed spirit of the West. Just as the buffalo roamed freely across vast landscapes, our Thundering Herd coffee embodies a bold and robust character that stands out in every cup. The beans for this roast are meticulously sourced from the Cusco region of Peru, ensuring exceptional quality and a memorable coffee experience.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the picturesque Cusco region of Peru, our Thundering Herd coffee thrives at elevations between 4,000 to 6,500 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment plays a crucial role in the cultivation of premium coffee beans. The cooler temperatures and rich, volcanic soils contribute to the beans' complex flavor profiles while naturally reducing pest populations. As a result, the need for pesticides is significantly minimized. Local farmers employ traditional hand-picking methods to ensure only the finest beans are selected, preserving the integrity and distinctive character of each harvest.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Thundering Herd coffee undergoes a medium roast, expertly calibrated to balance the beans' inherent sweetness with a rich, full-bodied profile. The roasting process is carefully monitored to develop the perfect caramelization of sugars, enhancing the coffee's natural flavors without overshadowing them. This medium roast ensures a smooth and balanced cup, highlighting the unique characteristics of Peruvian beans while providing a versatile brew that suits a variety of palates and brewing methods.
