Discover the coffee that won us over at first cup - Cruz Pata from Portuguese roaster Von&Vonnie in the Alto Inambari region of Puno. This exquisite bourbon in a washed finish is like a gentle ode to flavours: notes of apricot, Turkish honey and white chocolate enchant you in the cup. The coffee is designed for both filter and espresso, and its extra light profile has been fine-tuned to bring out floral delicacy, silky sweetness and fruity juiciness. It's not just coffee - it's an experience. It's subtle yet exceptional, like a mountain breeze over the morning mist.
Behind every sip there is a powerful story - the story of the people of Cruz Pata, who have managed to come together in an inhospitable but beautiful mountain landscape to build a community farming business with a focus on quality. The altitudes of 1 950-2 060 metres above sea level are not an obstacle but a challenge. Coffee growing has become not only a livelihood but also a source of pride - the whole community attaches great importance to the care of the land and traditions. One of the icons of this effort is Eulalia Chambi, a proud grower who is involved in the production of this unique coffee. Moreover, the Puno region is at the heart of Andean culture - a place where heritage meets the future of fine coffee.
In addition, Cruz Pata coffee has a fascinating genetic heritage - during the 1980s, bourbon varieties native to East Africa were planted in the region as part of a UN project. This is why this lot has an unusually intense floral and delicate profile that is more reminiscent of Kenyan or Ethiopian coffees than classic bourbons. The result is a coffee with an utterly pure flavour profile that you will simply fall in love with.
