Peru from The Naughty Dog is a filter coffee that combines bold fruitiness with subtle sweetness and an elegant body. In the cup, it comes across as lively, juicy, and sweet, with higher acidity that remains pleasantly rounded. Exotic papaya stands out the most , giving the coffee a soft fruity base, followed by a floral note of hibiscus and a deeper, sweet hint of chocolate fondant. The overall profile is rich, clean, and layered, with a flavor that is distinct yet still very approachable. The pink label suits this coffee perfectly—it is playful, fresh, and appealing from the very first sip.
The coffee comes from the Jaén region of Cajamarca, Peru , a long-standing source of exceptional lots with distinctive character. Producer Alberto Guerrero Penafiel grows this coffee at an elevation of 1 , 700 meters above sea level, where the coffee trees have ideal conditions for slow ripening and the development of a complex flavor profile. The Geisha variety is known for its aromatic delicacy, elegance, and ability to convey the terroir very precisely in the cup. It is precisely the combination of high altitude, a suitable climate, and meticulous work on the farm that gives this coffee its clean, sweet, and distinctly fruity profile. The harvest took place in the fall of 2025, making this a fresh crop with a beautifully vibrant character.
Processing is done using the natural dry method, which in this case enhances the body, sweetness, and intensity of the fruity notes. After harvesting, the whole cherries are dried along with their pulp, allowing the beans more time to absorb sugars and aromatic compounds from the fruit. This process significantly influences the flavor—the coffee is juicier, sweeter, and has a richer body than washed lots. In the cup, this manifests as notes of papaya, a floral hint of hibiscus, and a denser, almost dessert-like finish reminiscent of chocolate fondant. The result is a distinctive, sweet yet elegant filter coffee that captivates with its fruitiness and smooth aftertaste.
